Review of operations
Trading during the financial year was satisfactory in a tough economic environment. Year-on-year growth was achieved
in both casino and hotel revenues assisted by the merger and acquisition activity undertaken as part of the group’s
growth strategy.
Tsogo Sun has continued to allocate capital in terms of this strategy and accordingly has invested R2.4 billion during
the year as follows:
- acquired an additional 8.7% effective interest in Tsogo Sun KwaZulu-Natal Proprietary Limited in May 2013 at a cost
  of R363 million and the remaining 1.3% effective interest in November 2013 for R37 million with the resultant
  shareholding in Suncoast being 100%;
- completed the R400 million redevelopment of the Hemingways casino in East London; 
- spent R154 million during the year on the R206 million expansion of the Emnotweni casino, which included the
  construction of an expanded casino floor, additional gaming positions, additional covered parking, a conference and eventing
  area and restaurants. The project will be completed during May 2014;
- commenced construction of the US$30 million expansion of Southern Sun Maputo including the addition of 111 rooms
  and conference facilities, the expansion of the existing restaurant, lobby and back-of-house facilities and the
  refurbishment of the existing 158 rooms. The hotel has closed with effect from 1 April 2014 and the project is scheduled for
  completion during July 2014;
- completed the acquisition of a 75.5% stake in Ikoyi Hotels Limited in Lagos, Nigeria on 29 June 2013 for US$50.6
  million and the re-financing of US$19.7 million debt in the business. The property was previously managed by the group on
  behalf of the third-party owners;
- acquired shares in various properties during the year for an aggregate R73 million;
- acquired additional effective interests from non-controlling interests and in associates in various cinemas and
  hotels during the year for an aggregate R41 million;
- completed the expansion project at Blackrock casino including an additional 50 slot machines and three tables and
  an expansion of the Garden Court Blackrock hotel by an additional 40 rooms;
- commenced construction on the R560 million expansion and redevelopment of the Silverstar casino which includes
  additional dining options, an outdoor events area, cinemas, ten-pin bowling alley, laser tag games, an expanded and enhanced
  casino floor and parking. R160 million was spent during the year and the project is scheduled for completion by
  September 2014;
- commenced the R630 million refurbishment and expansion of the Gold Reef City casino and Theme Park which will
  include an increased casino offering, cinemas and additional restaurants at the casino and additional food and beverage
  outlets and improved access systems at the Theme Park with an improved linkage to the casino complex and an expansion of the
  Apartheid Museum. R22 million was spent during the year on the project; and
- in addition to these acquisitions and expansion projects, the group also invested R769 million on maintenance capex
  group-wide, including gaming system replacements and major hotel refurbishments, ensuring our assets remain best in
  class. 
Total income for the year of R10.8 billion ended 9% above the prior year with a 5% growth in gaming win assisted by a
16% growth in hotel rooms revenue and a 22% growth in food and beverage revenue. Earnings before interest, income tax,
depreciation, amortisation, property rentals, long-term incentives and exceptional items (“Ebitdar”) at R4.2 billion for
the year reflected an 8% increase on the prior year.
The overall group Ebitdar margin of 39.1% is 0.1 percentage points (“pp”) down on the prior year. As previously
reported, the underlying operations of the group remain highly geared towards the South African consumer (in gaming) and the
corporate market (in hotels) with both sectors still experiencing difficult economic conditions and increased
administered costs (electricity, water and property rates). The results for the year continue to reflect the growth potential 
of the group should these sectors of the South African economy improve.
Gaming win for the year grew by 5% on the prior year with growth in slots win at 2% and tables win growth at 14%.
Gauteng recorded provincial growth in gaming win of 3.4% for the year. Gaming win growth of 4.8% was achieved at
Montecasino, 7.4% at Gold Reef City and 7.1% at Silverstar. 
KwaZulu-Natal provincial gaming win grew by 3.5% for the year. Gaming win growth of 4.4% was achieved at Suncoast
Casino and Entertainment World and 2.6% at Blackrock casino with Golden Horse casino 2.1% down on the prior year. 
Mpumalanga reported growth in provincial gaming win of 2.8% for the year. Gaming win growth of 2.4% was achieved at
The Ridge casino in Emalahleni with Emnotweni casino in Nelspruit 0.2% down on the prior year impacted by the expansion
and redevelopment during the year. 
The Eastern Cape provincial gaming win grew by 5.6% for the year. Hemingways reported growth in gaming win of 4.8%. 
The Western Cape reported growth in provincial gaming win of 4.8% for the year. The Caledon Casino, Hotel and Spa and
Garden Route casino in Mossel Bay reported growth of 4.3% and 1.4% respectively while gaming win at Mykonos casino in
Langebaan reduced by 1.8%. 
The Goldfields casino in Welkom in the Free State experienced difficult conditions with growth in gaming win of 1.3%
on the prior year.
Other Gaming division operations consisting of the Sandton Convention Centre, the StayEasy Century City hotel and head
office costs reflected a net loss of R196 million, R11 million adverse to the prior year.
Overall revenue for the Gaming division increased 6% on the prior year to R8.1 billion. Ebitdar improved 5% to R3.3
billion at a margin of 40.5%, 0.5pp below the prior year partially due to opening additional profitable lower margin
businesses. 
The hotel industry in South Africa continues to experience a recovery from the dual impact of depressed demand and
oversupply. Overall industry occupancies have improved to 62.0% (2013: 60.9%) for the year. As a result of the strong sales
and distribution channels and the superior product and service quality available within the group, Tsogo Sun Hotels
continues to achieve an occupancy and rate premium in the segments in which the group operates.
Trading for the group’s South African hotels for the year has been more buoyant recording a system-wide revenue per
available room (“RevPar”) growth of 10% on the prior year due mainly to an increase in average room rates by 11% to R900,
with occupancies below the prior year at 63.9% (2013: 64.1%) impacted by the non-repeat of the BRICS conference in
Durban and with no Easter public holidays in the 2014 financial year. Overall revenue for the South African Hotel division
increased 11% on the prior year to R2.2 billion assisted by the inclusion of 54 on Bath and Southern Sun Hyde Park offset
by the closure of Garden Court Sandton. Ebitdar improved 20% to R737 million at a margin of 34.2% (2013: 31.6%).
The Offshore division of hotels achieved total revenue of R550 million representing a 52% improvement on the prior
year, driven by the acquisition of Southern Sun Ikoyi, effective from 29 June 2013, and the weakening of the Rand against
both the US$ and the Euro. Ebitdar (pre-foreign exchange gains) improved 65% to R153 million. The Rand weakness resulted
in a R33 million (2013: R37 million) foreign exchange gain on the translation of offshore monetary items.
Combined South African and offshore hotel trading statistics, reflecting the Tsogo Sun group owned hotels and
excluding hotels managed on behalf of third parties, are as follows:

 for the year ended 31 March    2014      2013      
 Occupancy (%)                  63.6      64.7      
 Average room rate (R)          897       782       
 RevPar (R)                     570       506       
 Rooms available (’000)         3 892     3 780     
 Rooms sold (’000)              2 476     2 445     
 Rooms revenue (Rm)             2 221     1 914     

The increase in average room rate is positively impacted by the inclusion of Southern Sun Ikoyi from 29 June 2013 and
the effect of the Rand weakness on the offshore portfolio.
Operating expenses including gaming levies and VAT and employee costs but excluding exceptional items and long-term
incentives increased by 9% on the prior year mainly due to non-organic growth in the business and increased offshore
overheads as a result of the weakening of the Rand against both the US$ and the Euro offset by savings initiatives.
Property rentals at R221 million are 15% up on the prior year mainly due to contractual increases and straight line
lease provision adjustments. Amortisation and depreciation at R648 million is 7% up on the prior year due mainly to the
capital spend during the year and the acquisition of Southern Sun Ikoyi.
The long-term incentive expense at R150 million is R84 million below the prior year charge and reflects the effect of
the increased long-term incentive liability (including dividend adjustments) at 31 March 2014.
Exceptional losses for the year of R73 million relate mainly to property, plant and equipment and loan impairments,
fair value adjustment to the value of a previously held interest in an associate and transaction and retrenchments costs
on the restructure of various departments in the business offset by a lease termination recovery. Exceptional losses for
the prior year of R19 million relate mainly to goodwill, property, plant and equipment and loan impairments, hotel
pre-opening costs and transaction and restructure costs offset by the settlement fees on termination of the Dubai hotel
management contracts.
Net finance costs of R373 million are 3% below the prior year due to lower average SA debt balances and reduced
preference share interest than the prior year offset by reduced average SA cash balances and increased offshore debt at lower
interest rates.
The effective tax rate for the year is 28.2% is impacted by non-deductible expenditure such as casino building
depreciation offset by the tax holiday at Southern Sun Ikoyi and non-taxable foreign exchange gains. The comparative effective
tax rate of 28.6% is due to the non-taxable gains referred to above in addition to preference share dividends. 
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests of R96 million is 23% below the prior year mainly due to the
acquisition of the additional 10% of Suncoast offset by the Southern Sun Ikoyi non-controlling interests.
Group adjusted headline earnings for the year ended 31 March 2014 at R1.9 billion are 18% above the prior year. The
number of shares in issue is largely unchanged year-on-year and thus adjusted headline earnings per share increased by 18%
to 176.5 cents per share.
Cash generated from operations for the year reduced 1% on the prior year at R3.8 billion. Cash flows utilised for
investment activities of R2.4 billion consisted mainly of maintenance capital expenditure and the acquisitions and
investments described above. 
Interest-bearing debt net of cash at 31 March 2014 totalled R4.4 billion, which is R0.8 billion above the 31 March
2013 balance of R3.6 billion, with R897 million paid in dividends to group and non-controlling shareholders in addition to
the investment activities during the year. Additional banking facilities of R4.2 billion are under negotiation to fund
the group’s growth strategy and the tenure of the loans have been extended to between 2020 and 2021. A R2.0 billion
preference share issue is in the planning stage to provide additional capital flexibility. 
PROSPECTS
The continued improvement in trading performance across the group’s operations during the year remains encouraging.
However, the sustainability of this growth is uncertain due to the weaker second half trading, ongoing macroeconomic
pressure and weak consumer sentiment. Nevertheless, the group remains highly cash generative and continues to pursue
significant opportunities to invest capital in its growth strategy.
The Mpumalanga Gaming board withdrew the previous request for proposal (“RFP”) for the fourth licence in the province
and restarted the project with a new RFP. The group submitted a revised bid and have been subsequently advised that the
board has again withdrawn the RFP. The group will be pursuing a legal challenge in this regard.
The potential to bid for the relocation of one of the smaller casinos in the Western Cape to the Cape Metropole
remains an opportunity for the group, although the increase in provincial taxes in the Western Cape has made this a less
attractive opportunity than before.
The group is also exploring a variety of projects, including the expansion of the Suncoast casino and related
entertainment facilities, as well as a number of potential acquisitions which are at various stages. The group has closed a
number of acquisitions subsequent to year end as follows:
- As announced on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE Limited (“SENS”) on 3 April 2014 Southern Sun Hotel
  Interests Proprietary Limited (“SSHI”), a group subsidiary, concluded agreements with Liberty Group Limited (“Liberty”) for
  a 10% increase in the group’s equity interest in The Cullinan Hotel Proprietary Limited (“Cullinan”) to 60% and the
  acquisition by Cullinan of various hotel assets from SSHI and Liberty. The net investment by the group is R762 million and
  the effective date of the transaction was 30 April 2014.
- The group acquired a 25% interest in RedefineBDL Hotel Group Limited for R145 million, a leading independent
  hotel management company in the United Kingdom with approximately 60 hotels under management, with effect from 1 May 2014.
  This acquisition provides the company with access to additional management expertise, exposure to new markets and the
  potential for opportunities to deploy capital in attractive investments in the European market in the future. 
- As announced on SENS on 13 May 2014 the group has entered into a transaction with Sun International Limited and
  Grand Parade Investments Limited for the acquisition of a 40% equity interest in each of SunWest International Proprietary
  Limited and Worcester Casino Proprietary Limited for an aggregate R2 185 million. The acquisition is subject to the
  fulfilment of conditions precedent which includes the approvals of the provincial Gambling and the Competition Authorities.
  The group opened the 353-roomed Southern Sun Abu Dhabi under management contract in the United Arab Emirates on 30
  April 2014.
The ability to continue to pursue the group’s investment strategy will depend on the final outcome and impact of the
variety of proposed regulatory and tax changes considered by government and will require the successful interaction with
various regulatory bodies including gaming boards, city councils, provincial authorities and national departments. The
group continues to constructively engage with the various spheres of government in this regard.
The group continues to assist SABMiller plc with its review of its strategic options in relation to its effective
39.6% shareholding and further announcements will be made to shareholders in due course.

NOTES TO THE REVIEWED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
1    BASIS OF PREPARATION  
     The reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014 have been prepared in accordance 
     with the framework concepts and the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards 
     (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), the preparation and disclosure requirements 
     of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee 
     and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council, the Listings Requirements of the 
     JSE Limited and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. CFO, RB Huddy CA(SA), supervised the preparation of 
     the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies are consistent with IFRS as well as those applied 
     in the most recent audited annual financial statements as at 31 March 2013 other than as mentioned below. The reviewed 
     condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the 
     year ended 31 March 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. This report has been reviewed by the group’s 
     auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. This review has been conducted in accordance with International Standards on Review 
     Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”, and their 
     unmodified review opinion is available for inspection at the company’s registered office.        
2    CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES   
     An amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits requires service costs and net interest to be allocated to profit or loss, while 
     all remeasurements are to be allocated to other comprehensive income. Previously the group allocated the adjustment to 
     profit or loss by applying the corridor method allowed in IAS 19 which has subsequently been withdrawn. The 31 March 2013 
     comparative numbers in the income statement, statement of other comprehensive income and cash flow statement, and 
     31 March 2012 comparative numbers in the balance sheet and statement of changes in equity have accordingly been restated.                                                                        Previously IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment permitted spare parts and servicing equipment to be classified as inventory 
     and the group previously classified all of its operating equipment as inventory. The impact of the amendment to IAS 16 
     required the group to perform an assessment on all operating equipment used by the casino and hotel operations to determine 
     which items are used for more than one period and met the definition of property, plant and equipment.   
     The abovementioned changes in accounting policies have been applied retrospectively and have reduced earnings per share 
     by 0.2 cents from 148.5 cents per share to 148.3 cents per share for the year ended 31 March 2013. Other than the 
     abovementioned changes in accounting policies, the accounting policies have been consistently applied with those of the 
     annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013, as described in those annual financial statements.                                                                                 The monetary effects have been disclosed as footnotes to the condensed statements.                                                                                                          3    BUSINESS COMBINATIONS                                                                                                                                                                            The following were the major business combinations concluded during the year under review in line with the group’s 
     strategy of owning its hotel properties:                                                                                                                                                         Acquisition of Ikoyi hotel                                                                                                                                                                       With effect from 29 June 2013, the acquisition of 75.5% of the shares of Ikoyi Hotels Limited, the company which owns 
     the Southern Sun Ikoyi hotel, was concluded. The fair value of the consideration paid for the acquisition is R505 million 
     (US$50.6 million) cash.                                                                                                                                                                          The group acquired the above mentioned hotel, which was previously a managed property, as an addition to its property 
     portfolio.The fair valuation of the net assets acquired equates to the fair value of the consideration paid at the date 
     of acquisition, and therefore no goodwill has arisen and no intangible assets have been identified. The acquired business 
     contributed incremental revenues of R140 million and profit after tax, including exceptional and acquisition costs of 
     R10 million, of R40 million to the group for the period from the date of control to 31 March 2014. Had the acquisition 
     occurred on 1 April 2013, group revenue would have increased by an additional R47 million and profit after tax would have 
     increased by an additional R20 million. These amounts have been calculated using the group’s accounting policies.                                                                               
      The fair value of net assets acquired is as follows:               Rm   
      Hotel property, plant and equipment                               978   
      Net liabilities                                                  (309)  
      Total identifiable net assets acquired                            669

      Goodwill                                                            -   
    
      Acquisition of Hyde Park hotel                                                                                  
      As previously reported, with effect from 17 May 2013 the group acquired the Southern Sun
      Hyde Park hotel business, previously a managed property. The fair value of the consideration paid for the property is
      R132 million cash. Due to the value of the net assets acquired equating to the consideration paid, no goodwill has arisen
      on this acquisition.                                                                                  
4    TRANSACTIONS WITH NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS                                                                                  
     The following major transaction with non-controlling interests was concluded during the year under
     review:
