INTRODUCTION

GPI's results for the six months ended 31 December 2016 clearly highlight a limited exit from its gaming and leisure investments and a continued investment into its
food investments. GPI's gaming and leisure investments operate in an onerous and changing regulatory environment which is exposed to the risk of potential taxes in the
future, however they are mature investments that have strong annuity cash flows. Therefore in order to reduce the risk presented by the regulatory environment yet
still benefit from the strong annuity cash flows, GPI's strategy has been to exit its gaming and leisure investments on a limited basis with the sale of a 10.0%
holding in SunWest International (Pty) Ltd (SunWest) and Worcester Casino (Pty) Ltd (Worcester) to Tsogo Sun Limited (Tsogo) and a staged sale of 70.0% of GPI
Slots (Pty) Ltd (GPI Slots) to Sun International Limited (Sun). These sales were concluded at attractive multiples and have realised significant investment returns.
However the sales have also had a significant impact on GPI's earnings profile, the most significant being the earnings from SunWest which decreased by
R20.5 million to R37.4 million for the period compared to the prior period earnings of R58.0 million. However, the decrease in earnings must be viewed in conjunction with
the effect the investment disposals have had on GPI's balance sheet. During the period GPI received proceeds of R547.5 million from the part disposal of its casino investments 
and a further R262.1 million from the disposal of a 19.9% holding in GPI. GPI utilised the proceeds to repay R281.2 million in debt, which reduced the debt equity 
ratio to 16.5% from 27.1% at 30 June 2016. In addition, R112.0 million was utilised to pay a dividend of 25.0 cents per share on 28 December 2016. After the utilisation of 
the proceeds, GPI had R347.3 million in cash remaining on its balance sheet at 31 December 2016.

In order to replace the annuity income of the sold gaming and leisure investments, GPI has been investing in its food investments, in particular, increasing its
holding in Spur Corporation Limited (Spur), which like the gaming and leisure investments yields an attractive income annuity but operates in a far less onerous
regulatory environment.

GPI continued with the expansion of its existing food investment portfolio during the period with the successful launch of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin Robbins in the
Western Cape. Both brands were received exceptionally well by the local consumer with sales in the first two months of trade exceeding the initial targets. At 31
December 2016, Dunkin' Donuts had opened five restaurants and Baskin Robbins had opened two stores. A total of R13.7 million was spent on setting up and launching the
brands, inclusive of franchise cost and licensing fees.

Burger King South Africa (RF) (Pty) Ltd (BKSA) opened four new restaurants and closed two poor-performing restaurants during the period and reported a significant
improvement in their operating results with a 211% increase in restaurant EBITDA and also reporting company earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and
amortisation (EBITDA) profit, before restaurant closure costs, for the first time since commencing operations.

GPI's assessment of its intrinsic net asset value is significantly higher than its market capitalisation and as a result GPI repurchased 24.5 million shares during the
period and a further 8.9 million shares subsequent to 31 December 2016. The share repurchases will have the effect of increasing GPI's earnings and dividends per
share, but also highlights GPI's confidence in the earnings potential of its food investments. GPI will continue to consider share repurchases as a mechanism to
improve its return to shareholders.

GPI has made a decision to focus on its gaming and leisure and food investments and as a result will continue to exit its investments classified as non-core in the
previous financial year. To this extent GPI has exited its investments in GrandLinkstate (Pty) Ltd, Grand Sport (Pty) Ltd and has entered into an agreement with its
investment partners in Grand Tellumat Manufacturing (Pty) Ltd (GTM) to limit its exposure to this investment. As a result GPI is now able to dedicate more resources
to its core investments.


REVIEW OF RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

GPI reported headline earnings for the period of R3.7 million compared to R9.6 million reported in the prior period. The main contributors to the reduction
in earnings were:
- The disposal of a 10% holding in SunWest in the previous financial year which resulted in a R20.5 million decrease in SunWest's earnings contribution when
  compared to the prior period.
- Start-up and launch costs of R13.7 million related to Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin Robbins which commenced operations during the current reporting period.
  While the overall headline earnings for the period were R5.9 million less than the prior period, the following investments reported an improvement in their
  contribution to headline earnings:
- BKSA reported a R6.9 million improvement in its loss contribution, with a R8.7 million loss for the period compared against a R15.6 million loss in the prior
  period. The loss included once-off costs incurred to close non-performing restaurants.
- GPI Slots reported a 28% improvement in its contribution with earnings of R16.8 million for the period compared against R13.2 million in the prior period.
- Worcester Casino reported an earnings contribution of R1.0 million which is the first time it has contributed earnings. This represents a R10.1 million
  improvement when compared against the R9.1 million loss reported in the prior period.
- Corporate costs for the period of R17.7 million were reduced by R7.6 million when compared against the prior period's costs of R25.3 million.

REVIEW OF INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

GPI received total proceeds of R891.1 million over the past six months as a result of investment disposals which consists of:
- R547.5 million in proceeds and related interest from the disposal of a portion of its investments in SunWest and Worcester Casino;
- R262.1 million for the disposal of a 19.9% equity interest in GPI Slots; and
- R81.5 million for the disposal of properties and non-core investment.

The proceeds were allocated as follows:
- To reduce the total debt by R281.2 million
- Paid a dividend of R112.0 million, net of treasury shares
- Repurchased 24.5 million GPI shares for R89.4 million
- To acquire an additional 1.6% of Spur Corporation Limited (Spur) for R57.8 million

Payment of deferred proceeds from the disposal of casino assets

In terms of the disposal of 10.0% of SunWest and Worcester, Tsogo had agreed to pay a total of R675.0 million for the investments by way of an
upfront payment of R112.5 million and the balance by way of 15 equal monthly instalments of R37.5 million ending September 2017.

GPI received the R112.5 million upfront payment during the prior financial period and R187.5 million in instalments up to 30 November 2016.

On 30 November, GPI concluded an agreement with Tsogo to accelerate the payment of the remaining R375.0 million in deferred proceeds. A total payment of R360.0 million
was made by Tsogo, which represented a R15.0 million discount on the outstanding balance of R375.0 million. However, as a result of being able to apply the proceeds to
reduce the overall debt levels, GPI expects the accelerated proceeds to have a R7.0 million positive effect on its cash flows.

Disposal of 19.9% of GPI Slots (third and final tranche)

On 16 November 2016, GPI concluded the disposal of a 19.9% equity interest in GPI Slots, being the third and final tranche of the staged deal to dispose of a 70%
equity investment in GPI Slots to Sun. GPI received proceeds of R262.1 million and recognised a profit on disposal of R48.5 million, net of
Capital Gains Tax, in the profit and loss for the period.

Disposal of properties and non-core investments

During the period, GPI continued with its strategy of exiting its non-core investments with the disposal of three properties and its full holding in Grand Linkstate.

The two industrial properties tenanted by Mac Brothers were sold for R59.5 million which resulted in a profit of R4.3 million on the disposal. In addition, the office
building tenanted by GPI Slots was sold for R21.0 million resulting in a R0.3 million loss being recognised.

On 12 August 2016, GPI sold its 51% stake in Grand Linkstate, including a loan receivable,  to EOH Limited for R0.9 million, which resulted in a R7.9 million loss
being recognised for the period.

Repayment of debt

GPI utilised a portion of the proceeds received from its investment disposals to reduce its overall debt to R361.6 million. This has resulted in the debt equity ratio
reducing to 16.5%. The table below shows the Group's debt split between Holding Company Debt and Debt held by subsidiary companies:

Annual dividend

GPI paid its 2016 annual dividend of 25.0 cents per share on 28 December 2016, which represents a 66.7% increase from the 2015 dividend of 15.0 cents per share.

The total dividend amounted to R122.2 million. However, GPI received R10.2 million back as a result of the 43.8 million GPI shares held in treasury; therefore, the
total dividend paid, net of treasury shares amounted to R112.0 million

Acquisition of Spur shares

GPI continued to increase its holding in Spur during the year by acquiring 1.7 million Spur shares for R57.8 million at an average price of R33.33 per share. As a
result, GPI increased its holding in Spur to 11.6% at 31 December 2016.

Repurchase of GPI Shares

During the period, GPI repurchased 24.5 million of its own shares for a total of R89.4 million at an average price of R3.65 per share. 18.7 million of the repurchased
shares are held as treasury shares, while the remaining 5.8 million shares were cancelled.

Impairment of investments

During the period, GPI impaired its investments in GTM.

GTM's future profitability and viability is reliant on securing a contract to manufacture set-top boxes. During the period the regulatory decision on set-top boxes was
again delayed and as a result GPI has taken the view that the probability of set-top box production is unlikely. Therefore, on 1 October 2016, GPI impaired its R8.2
million investment in GTM to Rnil. In addition, GPI reached an agreement with its joint-control partners, Tellumat, whereby GPI will no longer fund the operations of
GTM and further agreed that Tellumat will run the operations of GTM with a mandate of exploring all alternatives available extract value from the business.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The following significant transactions were concluded subsequent to 31 December 2016:

Sale of properties

On 31 January 2016, GPI concluded an agreement to sell its industrial property situated in Atlantis for R35.0 million which will result in a profit of R12.2 million.
The sale has been lodged for transfer.

Disposal of Grand Sport

On 24 January 2017, GPI disposed of its entire holding in Grand Sport to GPI Slots for R10.0 million.

Repurchase of GPI shares

GPI acquired a further 8.9 million of its own shares for R31.6 million since 31 December 2016. The repurchases were done at an average price of R3.55 per share and all
8.9 million shares repurchased have been cancelled.

Acquisition of Spur shares

Since 31 December 2016, GPI has acquired a further 1.6 million Spur shares for R52.7 million. The shares were acquired at an average price of R32.94 per share and
increases GPI's overall holding in Spur to 13.1%.

INTRINSIC NET ASSET VALUE (INAV)

Management's assessment of the Group's INAV at 31 December 2016 amounts to 682 cents per share, which is 1 cent more than the 681 cents per share reported at 30 June
2016. The INAV is before head office costs and capital gains tax implications.

The valuation methods used to determine the INAV remained consistent to those applied in the 30 June 2016 assessment, with the exception of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin
Robbins where the value reported at 31 December 2016 was based on the cost of their respective master franchise licences. In the last reported INAV both investments
were carried at a Rnil value.

  of the investment in the prior period.
4 The value in the current period has been based on the agreed transaction value to sell the full investment.

REVIEW OF INVESTMENTS' OPERATIONS

FOOD

BKSA

(Effective holding 91.1%)

BKSA opened four new restaurants during the period, which was made up of three corporate-owned restaurants and one franchised restaurant. Two corporate restaurants
were closed during the period as a result of their poor performance predominantly as a result of their location. The total number of restaurants at 31 December 2016
amounted to 68 made up of 61 corporate and seven franchised restaurants. An additional three poor-performing corporate restaurants were closed in January 2017 also as
a result of their location. A total cost of R12.4 million, consisting of once-off restaurant closure costs and related asset impairments, has been recognised in the
profit and loss for the period as a result of the closures.

The average CAPEX of the three new corporate restaurants amounted to R4.7 million per restaurant which is significantly lower than the previous period's average of
R8.5 million. This is mainly as a result of a R1.0 million fit-out allowance provided by one of the restaurants landlords and a relocation of assets from store
closures.

Sales for the period from the corporate restaurants of R317.6 million were significantly up by 41.5% from R224.4 million in the prior period. The increase is as a
result of an 11% improvement in the average monthly restaurant sales and an increase in store numbers. The sales trends over the period have been positive and in
particular the three-month period between 1 October 2016 and 31 December 2016, where same store sales increased by 1% compared against a decline of 30.4% for the same
period of last year. During December 2016, same store sales increased by 9.5% compared against a decline of 26.9% during December 2015.

The BKSA Operations team continued to build on the initiatives they introduced during the last financial year to optimise the restaurant operating model which resulted
in a 211% increase in the Restaurant EBITDA for the period from a loss of R9.4 million in the last period to a profit of R29.2 million in the current period.

BKSA reached profitability at a Company EBITDA level, before once-off closure costs, for the first time since it commenced operations. The Company EBITDA for the
period of R5.6 million is 142% higher than the R13.4 million EBITDA loss reported in the prior period.

Depreciation for the period amounted to R31.0 million which is 67% higher than last period as a result of restaurant openings. After taking the R12.4 million once-off
closure costs into account, the Company reported an EBIT loss of R37.9 million for the period, which is 18% higher than the loss of R32.0 million reported last period.

DUNKIN' DONUTS

(Effective holding 100.0%)

Dunkin' Donuts opened its first restaurant on 13 October 2016 and the response from the local consumer was overwhelming with over 330 000 doughnuts sold in the restaurant's
first month of trade. A further four restaurants were opened subsequently, bringing the total restaurants to five at 31 December 2016. All the restaurants are corporate-
owned.

The restaurants reported sales of R11.2 million and a gross profit of R4.0 million for the period. The gross profit percentage of 35.6% is well below the target as a
result of the doughnuts being imported during the initial period. The Restaurant EBITDA for the period was R1.0 million. However, after head office cost and marketing
cost spent on launching the brand, a Company EBITDA loss of R10.4 million was reported for the period.

Depreciation for the period amounted to R0.8 million resulting in an EBIT loss for the period of R11.2 million.

BASKIN ROBBINS

(Effective holding 100.0%)

Following on the success of the Dunkin' Donuts launch, Baskin Robbins opened its first store on 9 December 2016. An additional store was opened in December taking the
total number of stores to two at the end of December 2016.

The first two stores reported revenue of R0.9 million and a Restaurant EBITDA of R0.1 million for the period. Similarly to Dunkin' Donuts, after taking into
consideration the head office, store set-up and marketing costs incurred during the period, Baskin Robbins reported a Company EBITDA loss for the period of 
R5.6 million.

Depreciation for the period amounted to R0.2 million resulting in an EBIT loss for the period of R5.8 million.

SPUR

(Effective holding 11.6%)

GPI received a dividend of R7.9 million during the period and with related finance charges of R10.9 million, a R3.0 million net loss for the period, related to the
investment in Spur, was reported.

GRAND FOODS MEAT PLANT

(Effective holding 96.9%)

Grand Foods Meat Plant increased its revenue by 7.8% to R48.7 million and its EBITDA decreased from R4.5 million to R0.1 million. The decrease is as a result of a
reduced margin charged indirectly to BKSA. During the period, Grand Foods Meat Plant started exporting products to Kenya. Further opportunities are being explored in
other African states and the Middle East.

MAC BROTHERS

(Effective holding 100.0%)

Mac Brothers experienced tough trading conditions over the period as a result of a slower roll-out of restaurants by BKSA compared to the last period and a number of
clients putting their kitchen refurbishment and installation projects on hold until the 2017 calendar year. This was particularly evident in the Gauteng market. This
was offset by increased investment by the hotel and leisure industry, due to the increase in tourist figures. As a result, revenue for the period decreased by 16.9% to
R132.1 million, which is R26.9 million lower than previous period's revenue of R159.0 million.

The management team focused on limiting the impact of the slow-down in sales by controlling their operating expenses and as a result limited the reduction in EBITDA to
6%. The EBITDA for the period amounted to R12.2 million compared against R13.0 million for the prior period.

EBIT for the period amounted to R10.1 million which is a 6.5% decrease compared to the EBIT for the prior period of R10.8 million.

The Mac Brothers' forward order book at 31 December 2016 is very positive and the management team is confident that they will make up their lost revenue during the
second half of the financial year.

GAMING and LEISURE

SUNWEST

(Effective holding 15.1%)

SunWest's revenue decreased by 0.2% to R1.29 billion as a result of consumer spending being under pressure. Net profit after tax reduced by 3.2% to R248.0 million
mainly due to an increase in finance costs of 11.1%.

The dividend reduced from R380.0 million to R240.0 million in the current period due to a R120.0 million special dividend declared in the prior period.

GPI recognised R37.4 million in equity-accounted earnings for the period and received R36.2 million in dividends.

GPI SLOTS

(Effective holding 30.0%)

GPI Slots continued to outperform the overall gaming market and reported a R126.1 million EBITDA which is a 9% improvement when compared to the prior period. Revenue
for the period increased by 9% to R515.5 million and net profit after tax increased by 14% to R56.1 million.

GPI recognised R16.8 million in equity-accounted earnings, which are up by 27% from R13.3 million in the prior period.

WORCESTER

(Effective holding 15.1%)

Worcester's revenue increased by 1.7% to R89.6 million and its EBITDA improved by 30.4% to R17.4 million as a result of improvements made in its operating model.
Finance charges decreased by 93% as a result of a reduction in its debt facilities which resulted in a net profit after tax of R6.6 million.

During the period, GPI recognised R1.0 million in equity-accounted earnings, which are significantly up on the prior corresponding period losses recognised of R9.1
million.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On 9 November 2016, GPI sold the office building tenanted by GPI Slots to GPI slots for R21.0 million.

In addition to this transaction, the Group, in the ordinary course of business, entered into various transactions with related parties consistent with those as
reported at 30 June 2016. During the period, employees exercised share options with the strike price settled by loan financing.

DIRECTORATE

On 9 September 2016, Tasneem Karriem was appointed as an Executive Director. Tasneem joined the GPI executive team in July 2015 to head up the Group's corporate
finance activities. Tasneem will continue to lead the corporate finance activities of the Group in her role as an Executive Director.

PROSPECTS

GPI's food brands have been built around the common objective of achieving superior quality which will allow them to continue to grow against the backdrop of a
negative local economy. GPI's immediate focus is to move it's existing food investments to sustainable profitability by:

- Continuing to improve the efficiencies of its food operations;
- Increasing its holding in Spur;
- Establishing a doughnut production facility for Dunkin Donuts to localise doughnut production and reduce its overall food cost;
- Optimising operating costs through the rationalisation of costs and integrating Mac Brothers into the shared services company; and
- Opening profitable restaurants and outlets, in line with the legal commitments of the respective food brands.

Burger King is in its 4th year of operations and has reached sufficient critical mass, which allows effective rationalisation of costs through the shared services
company. Having already achieved profitability at a Company EBITDA level and with 12 new drive-through restaurants in the pipeline, the expansion of the Burger King
Restaurant network will start gaining momentum over the next year, which will ensure that a bottom line profit is attained.

The introduction of Dunkin Donuts and Baskin-Robbins into the South African market is a huge success and by leveraging the knowledge gained from
operating Burger King, GPI is confident that it can reach profitability in the two new brands over a much shorter time frame than Burger King. This will ensure that
the earnings from its food investments will replace the earnings of the gaming and leisure investments, which have recently been sold.

GPI will continue to be a dividend active company and will look to improve its return to shareholders.

3. Business Combination

   Prior year business combination

   In the prior year, the Group acquired a further 65% of Grand Foods Meat Plant for R35.8 million, including R3.3 million for repayment of the shareholder loan,
   increasing its holding to 96.9%. The increased holding gave the Group control of the investment, which was previously accounted for as an investment in associate, and
   as a result Grand Foods Meat Plant was consolidated into the Group with effect from 26 October 2016. At the date of acquisition, the Group held an existing 35%
   investment, which was increased to its fair value of R17.5 million, resulting in a fair value gain of R18.7 million being recognised in profit or loss from continuing
   operations. All assets purchased and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were identified at their fair values and were recognised separately from Goodwill. No
   intangibles were recognised during the identification process. Goodwill of R53.9 million was recognised as part of the business combination and represents the expected
   value creation within Grand Foods Meat Plan as a result of the opportunity to trade with BKSA during their expansion. The key unobservable inputs were a discount rate
   of 10.0 % and a terminal growth rate of 5.5%.

    1 Available-for-sale investment - Spur SPV

    The carrying value of the investment in Spur at 31 December 2016 of R316.4 million is made up of the original acquisition price of R294.7 million and fair value
    adjustments of R21.7 million (2015: R25.8 million). The Group's investment in Spur is subject to a trading restriction linked to the Group's empowerment credentials.
    The restriction expires on 29 October 2019, after which the instrument may be traded without restriction. The fair value of the investment has been measured by
    applying a tradability discount of 3% per year remaining on the restriction against the market price of Spur, as quoted on the JSE. The tradability discount was
    determined with reference to the agreements which govern the trading restrictions and industry standards applied to empowerment transactions. As the terms of the
    trading restrictions are unobservable the instrument has been classified under level 3, had the trading restrictions not been in place, the instrument would have been
    classified under level 1. A change of 1.0% in the discount rate used to determine the fair value at the reporting date would have increased/decreased other
    comprehensive income after tax by R2.7 million (2015: R3.2 million).

    2 Available-for-sale investment - Spur (open market)

8.  Segment analysis

    The chief decision-makers are considered to be the members of the GPI Executive Committee, who review the Group's internal reporting firstly by industry and secondly
    by significant business unit. The chief decision-makers do not review the Group's performance by geographical sector and therefore no such disclosure has been made.
    During the prior year the Group's internal reporting changed to reflect certain cost (mainly IT and rental costs) before the effect of consolidation eliminations and
    as a result the measurement basis for segment information changed. The chief decision-makers also reassessed the segments and as a results identified the following
    segments: Food, Gaming, Group costs and Non-core. The prior year results in the segment report have been restated to reflect these changes.
