Helder Pereira, Chairman, commented:
"The Group has remained focused on acquiring good, branded UK hotel assets. Our existing trading hotel continues
to perform ahead of expectations and, following the acquisition of three further hotels and the completion of the
Travelodge Belvedere development post period end, IHL now owns a total of eight hotels.

As anticipated, we have continued to incur certain one-off establishment costs which have led to the loss of GBP979,181,
but it is expected that such costs will no longer apply going forward. The Board is pleased to announce IHL's maiden
dividend of 2.5 pence per share reflecting its confidence in the future profitability of the Company.

Post period end, the asset management function has been internalised to align the interests of its shareholders and key
management and an additional GBP7 million of capital has been raised. Furthermore the Board is currently investigating
a transfer of listing to the main board of the JSE."

GROUP HIGHLIGHTS AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SUMMARY
For the six months ended 29 February 2016

GROUP HIGHLIGHTS

- First dividend declared of 2.5p per issued share
- Holiday Inn Express Dunstable performing ahead of expectations
- Debt security effected to take ownership of three Travelodges
- Significant positive post period end activity:
      - Additional £7 million of equity raised
      - Acquisition of a Hampton by Hilton at Gatwick Airport
      - Acquisition of a further two Holiday Inn Express hotels
      - Acquisition and internalisation of third party asset management company
      - Completion of the Travelodge Belvedere development
      - Eight hotels now owned with 974 bedrooms

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OVERVIEW

The Company has remained focused on acquiring good branded UK hotel assets.

During the second quarter, hotel property transaction activity in the UK was very strong. Large portfolios were sold at compressed yields and sellers were demanding
deposits to secure exclusivity as well as proof of ability to perform.

Despite this, IHL managed to secure exclusivity for a portfolio of four excellent London based hotels and approached investors to secure additional capital. Regrettably,
due to, inter alia, the uncertainty in global markets and a sharp drop in the South African Rand exchange rate, there was little appetite for investment and the target
acquisition was unsuccessful. The impact of this resulted in the Company having to absorb some significant abort costs, which are reflected in the trading numbers.

The UK hotel investment market has softened during the Q2 of 2016 as yields return to a more realistic pricing level. The continued uncertainty around the EU
referendum, as well as general caution in the investment markets, has resulted in a market that is somewhat cautious and adopting a 'wait and see' approach. This gave
IHL an opportunity to look to acquire additional strong branded assets at the start of Q3 which were recently announced being:
      - Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport - North Terminal
      - Holiday Inn Express Redditch
      - Holiday Inn Express Southampton M27 Jnt 7

Shortly after the close of Q2, IHL acquired 100% of the shares in its third party asset management company from Redefine|BDL Hotel Group Limited. Resource has
been allocated internally to manage current and future acquisitions and thereby prevent any leakage in earnings that will result in improved margins going forward.

The UK trading market has continued with good occupancies and growth despite a small pull back in the London market and this is anticipated to continue. All assets in
the IHL portfolio continue to perform in line with expectations.

The IHL Board is investigating a move to the main board of the JSE as a consequence of the feedback from the investor community and this will take place once all
regulatory requirements have been satisfied.

The Group's trading hotel, Holiday Inn Express Dunstable, has performed well since it was acquired in August 2015 and is ahead of expectations at the half year. It is
this underlying performance that has given the Board the confidence to pay the first dividend.

Subsequent to the period end we have also completed the development of Travelodge Belvedere on a timely basis bringing the number of third-party leased Travelodges
owned by the Group to four. The Group now owns a total of eight hotels with 974 bedrooms.

The Group is currently in negotiations to utilise the remaining equity in the business for additional earnings enhancing hotel acquisitions which are expected to be
announced in due course.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OVERVIEW

During the second quarter the Group continued its growth phase by successfully raising a further £13 million of equity through the issue of 13 million shares at £1 per
share. At the end of February 2016 the Group had raised a total of £48 million and a further equity raise of £7 million took place after the period end.

A non-core asset, being the original unbranded Worcester hotel acquired by the Group, was sold in the period to allow IHL to focus on its core business of owning
branded assets in strong locations. During the period of ownership the Worcester hotel had a positive impact on earnings in the Group.

The Group effected its security over three Travelodge hotels (gained through debt acquired in the first quarter for £23.5 million) to take ownership of the entities owning
those properties during the second quarter which has given rise to the increase in the Investment Property balance in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
since the year end.

Completing ownership of the Travelodge hotels enabled the Group to commence with recognising Rental Income in place of Finance Income from the debt that was
originally acquired. To-date £0.3 million of Rental Income has been recognised.

The second quarter saw a continuation of the Group incurring some one-off 'start-up' costs relating to structuring of the Group and some asset management fees prior to
the acquisition of the asset management company after the period end. In addition there were one-off abort costs of around £0.5m for advisor fees on the significant
acquisition that was unsuccessful. Finally there was a £0.4 million foreign exchange loss in the period due to movement in the GBP:ZAR exchange rate during the
capital raises while foreign currency swaps were being put in place. It is expected that these one-off costs have now broadly been incurred and should not continue to a
material extent.

Immediately prior to the period end £15 million was transferred to solicitor client accounts for acquisitions that were imminent after the quarter end and which have since
been successfully completed and announced – this caused the large Trade & Other Receivables balance at the period end.

The Group is anticipated to move into profit shortly as the number of trading hotels in the business increases.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 29 February 2016

1. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary
shares into ordinary shares.
The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS computations:
