1. Introduction

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

   The Fund benefited from a buoyant hospitality sector, once again returning strong distribution
   growth of 14,5% per combined linked unit on the prior year and exceeded the forecast set out in
   the December 2013 results announcement by 0,5% ("forecast"). The A-linked unit distribution
   grew by 5,0% to 141,35 cents, in line with the Fund's distribution structure and the forecast.
   Distribution on the B-linked unit showed an increase of 85,0% to 33,45 cents compared to the
   previous year and exceeding the forecast by 2,6%. The Fund's focus on increasing its exposure
   to large hotel properties in major metropolitan areas is paying off, with growing business travel
   demand in these nodes. Its properties in Cape Town and Sandton continue to perform well, in
   particular The Westin Cape Town, the Radisson Blu Waterfront and the Radisson Blu Gautrain
   Hotel. In line with the Fund's strategy to constantly enhance the quality of core properties to
   sustain their performance, it continually invests to improve the facilities at these hotels. Selective
   refurbishments were also carried out at certain properties in the Fund's portfolio in order to 
   maintain their appeal and ensure sustainable rental income streams.

   Reflecting Hospitality's proactive asset management strategy, the Fund also introduced new hotel
   operators at the Mount Grace Country House and Spa ("Mount Grace") and the Kopanong
   Hotel & Conference Centre ("Kopanong"), and is working with these new managers to reposition
   the hotels to achieve Hospitality's required returns.

2. Trading environment

   According to the STR Global South Africa Hotel Review, the hotel industry reported a year-on-
   year increase in occupancy of 1,4% to 62,3% and average room rates ("ARR") were up 9,6%
   to R1,001, resulting in revenue per available room ("RevPAR") growth of 11,1% for the year
   ended 30 June 2014. The Fund's trading figures for that portion of its portfolio which is subject
   to variable rental income and excluding conference hotels (hotels where the revenue generated
   from conferencing exceeds rooms revenue) outperformed the broader industry, with an overall
   occupancy of 61.4% (2013: 60,1%). Its overall ARR growth of 14,0% to R1,162 and RevPar growth
   of 16,5% was well ahead of the industry.

   The consistent RevPAR growth confirmed the recovery trend that has benefited the industry
   since October 2011. With demand for hotel accommodation continuing to increase and limited
   creation of additional room stock, demand pull is driving room rate growth.

   Insofar as the Fund's fixed lease properties are concerned, management constantly monitors
   and interacts with its tenants in order to maintain a full understanding of their underlying
   business performance and evaluate the serviceability of rentals. During the year, the Fund's asset
   management team was bolstered to ensure it has the capacity to effectively support the hotel
   operators in optimising the performance of their properties.

3. Results

   The Fund reported solid rental income growth of 19,6% to R426,2 million (2013: R356,3 million).
   Like-for-like rental income growth for the portfolio's properties subject to variable rental income
   (excluding Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel which was acquired in May 2013 and Kopanong which
   was previously on a fixed lease) was 13,3%, driven mainly by the higher ARR achieved by the
   Fund. RevPAR was boosted in December 2013 as many foreign dignitaries travelled to South
   Africa to pay tribute to late President Nelson Mandela. The average rental increase of only 4,2%
   on the fixed lease portion of the portfolio, including a 3% escalation in the rental at Birchwood
   Hotel and OR Tambo Conference Centre ("Birchwood"), (contributing 19,7% of total current
   rental income) dampened overall rental income growth. Strong demand in Sandton and Cape
   Town, where the Fund has several well-located properties, underpinned the Fund's growth.
   While trading conditions in the first nine months of the year were buoyant and demand trended
   consistently higher, the timing of public holidays and National Elections in April and May 2014
   dampened Hospitality's business and conferencing income streams in the last three months
   of the financial year. After changing hotel operators from 1 December 2013 at Mount Grace
   (due to lost market share) and at Kopanong (tenant placed in business rescue and defaulted on
   lease payments) the performance of these properties is yet to recover to the level required by
   the Fund. Accordingly, Hospitality is restructuring and repositioning these properties with the
   operators to improve returns.

   Fund expenses increased by R10,6 million (35,6%) to R40,5 million (2013: R29,9 million) with the
   major contributors being:

   - An early repayment penalty of R4,9 million that was paid to Absa Bank ("Absa") in the
     second half of the year after the Fund's R550 million facility with Absa was repaid with
     proceeds from the domestic medium–term note ("DMTN") programme and an additional
     facility from Nedbank.

   - Debt raising fees of R1,9 million in respect of the Absa term loans which were being
     amortised over the original loan period that were expensed in the second half of the year;

   - Higher employee costs following the recruitment of additional specialist skills to enhance the
     Fund's capacity to effectively manage its growing portfolio and the increasing proportion of
     fixed and variable leases.

   - Expenses benefitted from a net bad debt recovery of R1.5 million. R5,7 million was recovered
     n the second half of the year from the previous tenant at Kopanong after raising a provision
     f R4.2 million in the first six months of the year.

   Net finance costs increased 10,6% to R146,3 million (2013: R132,3 million), in line with higher
   debt levels after funding the acquisition of the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel with the DMTN
   programme. The 50 basis point interest rate hike late in the period had a marginal impact.

   Distributable earnings per combined linked unit grew by 14,5% to 174,80 cents (2013:
   152,71 cents), and exceeded the forecast of 173,96 cents by 0,5%. The A-linked unit distribution
   of 141,35 cents (2013: 134,63 cents) showed a 5,0% increase, and was in line with forecast.
   The reported distribution of the B-linked unit grew 85,0% to 33,45 cents (2013: 18,08 cents),
   exceeding the forecast by 2,6%.

4. Funding and capital structure

   The group's debt facilities with financial institutions as at 30 June 2014 amounted to
   R1,89 billion. Total funds drawn on these facilities were R1,77 billion resulting in a loan to
   value (LTV) ratio (total interest–bearing liabilities/investment properties plus properties
   held for sale) of 36,72% (2013: 34,4%). The interest cover ratio was 2,64 which is well
   within the minimum covenant level of 2,00 required by the debt providers.

   The weighted average cost of borrowings was 9,14% (2013: 8,56%) for the period under
   review with 58% of the group's borrowings at year-end subject to fixed interest rates.

   The Fund continually evaluates and plans the optimal method of funding new acquisitions
   and replacing debt with consideration given to the options of new unit issues, replacement
   of bank funding and the group's DMTN programme. When issuing new debt the group
   endeavours to optimally spread the maturity to minimise its exposure to large debt
   maturities in any single year.

   In this regard the expiry profile was restructured in the first half of the period to provide
   an even expiry profile with limited concentration exposure.

   Rand Merchant Bank ("RMB"), acting as arranger, successfully facilitated a R500 million
   secured note issue on 17 February 2014. The issue comprised R300 million floating rate
   notes at 3-month JIBAR plus 200bps and R200 million 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 plus 238bps. The proceeds were utilised to repay all the facilities previously
   provided by Absa amounting to R550 million. This decision was taken due to the onerous
   conditions contained in the Absa loan agreement which was hampering business decisions.
   The Fund paid an early repayment penalty of R4,9 million to Absa and debt raising fees of
   R1,9 million which were being amortised over the loan period were expensed in the second
   half of the 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.

   The Fund's application to the JSE for REIT status was granted with effect from 1 July 2013
   and it has until 1 July 2015 to convert the debentures to shares. The conversion is in
   progress and is expected to be completed by December 2014. In conjunction with this
   process, Deloitte & Touche Corporate Finance was appointed to conduct a review of 
   the Fund's capital structure and a number of options are currently being explored.

5. Property portfolio

   The Fund's portfolio comprises interests in 26 hotel and resort properties in South Africa.
   As at 30 June 2014, the carrying amount of the portfolio was R4,8 billion.

   The net asset value (NAV) per linked unit as at 30 June 2014 was R11,40, an increase
   of 4,1% from 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in the valuation of the standing
   portfolio.The combined NAV of R22,80 is in line with the combined market value of the units 
   at year end. The weighted average lease expiry period is 8,47 years.

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

   In April 2014, the ownership of the Courtyard Cape Town property, 50:50 owned
   by the Fund and City Lodge, reverted to the University of Cape Town. The valuation of
   this property was fully written down to zero in June 2013 and no further impairment was
   raised in 2014.

6. Acquisitions and disposals

   Increasing awareness of Hospitality's specialist hotel property investment focus is generating
   a constant flow of investment opportunities to the Fund, including new developments in
   major metropolitan nodes which have proven to be more robust than those located in
   outlying areas. Although no major acquisitions of new properties were finalised during the
   year, Hospitality has invested significant time and effort in evaluating a number of potential
   investments to deliver on its strategy of acquiring hotels that meet its investment criteria.
   The most recent acquisitions, being the Westin Cape Town (2011) and the Radisson Blu
   Gautrain Hotel (Gautrain Hotel) in Sandton (2013) have performed well and have become
   key assets that form part of the benchmark against which new acquisitions are evaluated.

   The renegotiation agreement of the new fixed and variable lease at Birchwood will
   result in a reversion in net income of approximately R14 million in the 2015 financial
   year. The renegotiation included the investment by the Fund of a further R60 million
   in the property for the Terminal Convention Centre development, which is uniquely
   positioned to accommodate large conferences of approximately 2 000
   delegates. Its scale and proximity to the OR Tambo International Airport and
   scale coupled with the 665 available rooms continue to differentiate this hotel
   from its competitors. In the year ahead, 167 rooms will also be renovated and
   repositioned to meet the growing demands of the corporate market.
   
   The Fund has identified certain non-core properties, which do not meet
   its long-term investment criteria valued at R311,9 million, for disposal and
   continues to market these properties. These properties remain profitable and
   Hospitality is not under pressure to compromise on pricing.

7. Developments and capital projects

   The Fund completed various refurbishment projects during the period, as
   follows:

   - An upgrade at the Protea Hotel The Richards, located in Richards Bay, was
     completed with positive feedback from hotel customers.

   - Completion of the Protea Hotel Hluhluwe and Safaris refurbishment,
     enabled the property to be effectively marketed to the improving foreign
     tourist market.

   - The irrigation system of the world class Arabella Golf Course was
     upgraded during the year.

   In 2015, capital projects amounting to R160 million are planned. These include:

   - The upgrade of 167 rooms at the Birchwood Hotel and
     OR Tambo Conference Centre as well as the addition of The Terminal
     Convention Centre.

   - The construction of four new bedrooms and upgrades to the public areas
     at the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel.

   - A refurbishment of the conferencing facilities and public areas at the
     Radisson Blu Waterfront which is currently underway.

   - Construction of an outdoor swimming pool at The Westin Cape Town
     which will enhance the appeal of the hotel to the leisure market.

   - Repositioning of Mount Grace with additional facilities to
     enhance its appeal to the family market.

   - Refurbishment of the Courtyard Eastgate property (in conjunction with
     City Lodge) to maintain market share.

   The quality of the Fund's properties continue to provide a solid platform for
   future income growth. The Fund is cognisant of future refurbishment projects
   that will attract additional capital investment.

   The Overstrand Municipality approved the rezoning application on the
   Phase 2 at Arabella Hotel and Spa in the first quarter of 2014. However, two
   environmental associations subsequently appealed this decision, and these will
   be processed by the Department of Environmental Affairs with the Minister
   of Environmental Affairs & Development Planning making the final decision.
   The Fund continues to monitor the situation closely and is engaging with
   all the relevant parties to reach a timeous resolution to this process. If the
   development rights are finally secured after the appeals process, the Fund
   will market this scheme with a view to realising a profit from the sales of
   352 residential stands, to be classified as distributable income.

8. Liquidity

   During the year, 26,6% of the A-linked units and 45,0% of the B-linked units
   were traded on the JSE Limited.

9. Board of directors

   Changes to the board during the financial year were as follows:

   - Ms Zola Ntwasa was appointed as Independent Non-Executive Director
     on 8 July 2013, she has an investment banking and property finance
     background.

   - In line with the Fund's succession program, Mr Willy Ross stepped down
     as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee with effect from 1 April
     2014, remaining on the Board as an independent non-executive director
     and retaining his position on the other Board committees.

   - The Audit and Risk Committee remains fully constituted as required by
     the Companies Act No. 71 of 2008 with four independent non-executive
     members, being Mrs Linda de Beer (Chairman), Ms Zola Ntwasa, Messrs
     Kamil Abdul-Karrim and Syd Halliday.

10. Prospects

   The long-term fundamentals for the hospitality industry remain positive, despite a
   slowdown in the recovery trend during the last three months of the financial year.
   Looking forward, an improving global economy and a weaker Rand could provide
   support for foreign visitors to the country, however, Hospitality is concerned
   that the more stringent travel regulations that the South African Department of
   Home Affairs is implementing could dampen growth within the tourist and the
   foreign conferencing markets. The Fund will also monitor the possible impact of
   the new Employment Equity Act on its hotel managers and tenants.

   Recent reductions in GDP growth rates, increased labour demands and
   potential interest rate hikes are of concern but the Fund remains cautiously
   optimistic and expects its overall occupancies to remain stable and room rates
   in major centres to continue to show real growth.

   The Fund continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities that meet its
   investment criteria and that are able to support and improve distribution
   growth.

   For the year ending 30 June 2015, combined distributions are expected to
   increase by 4,0% on the prior year to 181,87 cents. A 5,0% growth on the prior
   year is forecast for the A-linked unit to 148,42 cents while the distribution
   per B-linked unit is expected to remain the same at 33,45 cents, relatively evenly
   split between the distribution periods. This forecast is based on achieving an
   occupancy of 64,8% and ARR of R1,248 for the Fund's portfolio excluding
   conference hotels. The forecast includes the expected impact of the
   Birchwood net income reversion of R14 million, which if excluded, will have 
   resulted in an increase in the combined and B-linked unit distributions of 10,1% and 
   31,8% respectively. Finance costs are expected to increase, having forecast 
   interest rate hikes of 100 bps over the year and additional debt-funded capital 
   expenditure of R100 million. These forecasts have not been audited or reviewed by 
   the Fund's auditor. 

   Hospitality's underlying performance for the 2016 financial year
   will be impacted by a renewal of the lease at Champagne Sports Resort ("Champagne"). 
   Preliminary negotiations indicate a reversion in rental income of approximately 20% and 
   also a requirement to refurbish the hotel in order to maintain market share. 

   No further rental income reversions are expected following the restructure of the 
   Champagne lease.

11. Payments of distribution

   Unitholders will receive distribution payment number 17 for the six-month
   period ended 30 June 2014 of 71,52 cents per A-linked unit and 14,20 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").

   The number of units in issue at the date of declaration is 140 197 778.

   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 agreement for the
   avoidance of double taxation ("DTA") between South Africa and the country
   of residence of the linked unitholder. Assuming dividend withholding tax will
   be withheld at a rate of 15%, the net amount due to non-resident unitholders
   will be 60,7920 cents per A-linked unit and 12,0700 cents per B-linked unit. 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 distribution 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 advice on the appropriate
   action to take.
