COMMENTARY
INTRODUCTION
The nine months ended 31 March 2017 incorporated the completion of the acquisition of 10 hotel properties from
Tsogo Sun Holdings Limited ("Tsogo Sun") ("1st Transaction") as well as the restructure of the company's dual-class
share capital structure to a single class share capital structure, in the ratio of one ordinary share for every A-share
held and one ordinary share for every 3.5 B-shares held ("the Restructure"), which brought about the alignment
of shareholder objectives.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Hospitality's board has declared a distribution of 44.92 cents per share for the three months ended 31 March 2017
resulting in the total distribution per share for the nine months of 101.01 cents per share (in addition to a clean
out dividend, declared as at 31 August 2016, to A-shareholders of 9.29 cents per share). The Fund's distributable
earnings increased by 56.8% to R345 million compared to the nine months to 31 March 2016, mainly due to the
inclusion of the 10 properties from the 1st Transaction, effective from 1 September 2016. The Fund currently owns
24 properties relative to the 15 properties at 30 June 2016.
The following table reflects the operating financial results for the nine months ended 31 March 2017 compared
to the prior 12 month financial period and the prior corresponding illustrative nine month comparable period:

(1) Hospitality changed its financial year end from June to March during the period under review.
This was done to align Hospitality's financial year end with that of its controlling shareholder, Tsogo Sun.
(2) The illustrative information has been extracted, without adjustment from management accounts for the period
1 July 2015 to 31 March 2016. The illustrative information is the responsibility of the directors of Hospitality
and has not been reviewed or reported on by Hospitality's auditors.
Rental income for the nine month period increased by 35% to R499 million (2016: R370 million) and includes the
impact of the 1st Transaction and the disposal of eight investment properties in the current and prior periods.
Rental income on a like-for-like basis, for a 12 month comparable period, grew by 10% (adjusted for the impact of
the 1st Transaction and the disposal of investment properties).
Hospitality's rental income is subject to seasonal variability and the nine months to 31 March 2017 included a
robust summer period in the Western Cape.
Hospitality's expenses for the nine month period are up 21% to R39 million (2016: R32 million). A once-off expense
of R8 million was incurred with the restructure of the asset management division and the termination costs of
the previous CEO, in line with the change of control clause contained in his contract of employment. Net of these
restructure costs, the Fund achieved a 3% reduction in expenses, predominantly due to payroll-related savings.
Net finance costs of R116 million (2016: R118 million) were in line with the previous comparable nine month
period with debt levels constant. The weighted average cost of net debt for the year to March 2017 is 10.4%
(Previously the company disclosed the gross cost of debt.)
TRADING RESULTS
For the purpose of comparison to the STR Global South African Hotel Review ("STR") and to mitigate against
the effect of seasonality in the nine month results, trading for the 12 month period ended 31 March 2017 has
been compared to the prior 12 month period. The trading results have been compared on a like-for-like basis
and exclude the disposed properties. Room occupancy increased 2.3% to 65.5% and average daily rates ("ADR")
increased by an above inflation 6.4% to R1 218. This resulted in revenue per available room ("RevPAR") growth of
8.9% to R797 and compares favourably with the STR reported RevPAR growth for South African hotels of 9.8%.
The Fund's hotel properties are predominantly located in the Western Cape and Gauteng provinces of South Africa
and these properties generate more than 75% of the Fund's rental income.
The Western Cape properties, predominantly located in the Cape Town CBD performed well. Room occupancy grew
4.8% to 71.1% whilst ADR grew by 7.4% to R1 751 and resulted in RevPAR growth of 12.6% to R1 245, whilst RevPAR
growth for the Western Cape properties participating in the STR survey was 17.9% . This was off a lower base than
that of the Fund and was driven by aggressive growth in the ADR of the participating 4- and 5-star hotels.
The Gauteng properties increased occupancy to 60.4%, a growth of 1.9% whilst ADR grew by 4.0%, resulting in
RevPAR growth of 6.0% which compares favourably with the growth in RevPAR of 4.5% for the STR participating
hotels in Gauteng.
PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
The Fund's portfolio comprises interests in 24 hotel and resort properties in South Africa. The Fund's property
portfolio was independently valued at 31 March 2017, resulting in a net fair value increase of R184 million to
R8.1 billion (2016: R5.2 billion). The fund has elected to measure investment properties at fair value. The fair value
is determined by discounting the rental income (based on expected net cash flows of the underlying hotels) after
considering the capital expenditure requirements. The expected cash flows are discounted using an appropriate
discount rate.
The weighted average lease expiry period is 13.4 years. As at 31 March 2017, the carrying amount of the portfolio
was R8.1 billion and the net asset value (NAV) per ordinary share amounted to R19.96. The market value per share
at 31 March 2017 traded at a 30% discount to the NAV.
ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
The Fund's investment strategy is to invest in well-located hotels in major urban centres with strong brands and
diverse source markets.
The 1st Transaction, which became effective from 1 September 2016, comprised the acquisition of 10 hotel
properties. Hospitality's inclusion in the Tsogo group, provided it with future growth prospects and an attractive
pipeline of acquisitions in the medium-term.
As announced on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE ("SENS") on 18 May 2017, Hospitality has entered
into transaction agreements with Tsogo Sun and/or its subsidiaries ("Tsogo Group") ("2nd Transaction"), to acquire
a portfolio of 29 established hotel properties for an aggregate purchase consideration of R3.6 billion, to be settled
by R1.0 billion in cash and R2.6 billion in shares.
The 2nd Transaction remains subject to the requisite shareholders' approval being obtained at the general meeting
scheduled for 5 July 2017. A circular containing the notice of the general meeting will be posted to shareholders
on 5 June 2017 in terms of the Companies Act No 71 of 2008 ("the Companies Act") and the JSE Limited Listings
Requirements.
The 2nd Transaction presents an attractive acquisition for Hospitality, in line with the Fund's growth strategy to
acquire value enhancing property acquisitions, both from within Tsogo Sun's existing portfolio and from external
opportunities, to increase the Fund's critical mass. The 2nd Transaction will continue to broaden Hospitality's
earnings base, brand and product offering and result in greater presence in primary metropolitan areas.
Eight properties, which did not meet the Fund's investment strategy, have been disposed of in the last 18 months.
The Inn on the Square was disposed of for a total cash consideration of R157 million on 20 November 2016. The
Fund has provided certain warranties, which, in total, shall not exceed 10% of the purchase price or R5 million in
respect of any one warranty.
As announced on SENS on 11 April 2017, the Fund has also concluded an agreement with Savana Property
Proprietary Limited to acquire various additional sections and exclusive use areas in the Sandton Eye sectional
title scheme ("the Scheme"), increasing the Fund's interest in the scheme from 58.13% to 81.54% and including the
acquisition of an existing real right of extension of the scheme by some 10 000 bulk square meters or an additional
seven floors.
RIGHTS OFFER
Subject to receiving the requisite JSE approvals, Hospitality intends to undertake a fully underwritten rights offer
to raise R1.8 billion (the "Rights Offer"). Further details of the Rights Offer will be announced in due course and
a circular in respect of the Rights Offer will be posted to shareholders. The Rights Offer proceeds will be used to
partially settle the cash portion of the purchase consideration of the 2nd Transaction, with the balance being
utilised to reduce Hospitality's interest bearing debt.
DEVELOPMENTS AND CAPITAL PROJECTS
In order to maintain the appeal of its properties the Fund continually upgrades and invests in its hotels. Total
capital expenditure amounted to R73 million during the period. Most notably, this included an upgrade of the Spa
at the Radisson Waterfront.
FUNDING
The group's debt facilities with financial institutions as at 31 March 2017 amounted to R2.0 billion. Total
drawn down facilities were R1.7 billion resulting in a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio (total interest-bearing liabilities/
investment properties plus properties held for sale) of 22.4% (2016: 32.6%). The reduction in gearing is mainly
due to the acquisition of the ungeared 1st Transaction portfolio. The interest cover ratio improved to 4.0 times
(2016: 2.7 times), well above the required debt covenant limit of 2.0 times.
Global Credit Ratings upgraded the Fund's credit rating to long-term BBB+ (ZA) from BBB (ZA) while its short-term
rating was upgraded from A3 (ZA) to A2 (ZA).
PROSPECTS
Growth in hotel trading is expected to remain under pressure given the weak economic growth prospects in
South Africa. Growth will further depend on the economy's future performance and the degree of policy certainty
emanating from the government going forward. The Fund remains positive that the rental income it derives from
its tenants is well-diversified, both geographically and in terms of product offering across brand segments. The
contribution from the elevated performances of the hotel properties in the Cape region could be at risk due to
additional supply entering the market.
The Fund continues with the following:
- the integration of the 1st Transaction portfolio, which increased the Fund's room count by 1 978 rooms to
5 232 rooms;
- the implementation of the 2nd Transaction in relation to the acquisition of 29 additional hotels consisting of
3 771 rooms; and
- the implementation of the acquisition of various additional sections and exclusive use areas in the Sandton Eye
Scheme.
The Fund's gearing is low at 22.4% and the Fund is committed to and able to fund its ongoing capital expenditure
programme over a five-year planning horizon.
DIVIDEND PAYMENT
The Board has approved and notice is hereby given of a gross dividend payment number 23 of 44.92012 cents per
share for the three months ended 31 March 2017.
The number of shares in issue at the date of the dividend declaration is 330 509 919 ordinary shares (for the
purposes of the dividend declaration, 2 377 256 ordinary shares have been excluded from the dividend payment
due to dissenting shareholder rights having been exercised).
In accordance with Hospitality's REIT status, shareholders 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 shareholders
(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 shareholder. These qualifying distributions are,
however, exempt from dividend withholding tax in the hands of South African tax resident shareholders, provided
that the South African resident shareholders provided the following forms to their Central Securities Depository
Participant ("CSDP") or broker, as the case may be, in respect of uncertificated shares, or the company, in respect
of certificated shares:
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. Shareholders 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- resident
Qualifying distributions received by non-resident shareholders 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. On 22 February 2017, the dividends withholding tax rate was increased from 15%
to 20% and any distribution received by a non-resident from a REIT will be subject to dividend withholding tax
at 20%, 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 shareholder. Assuming dividend withholding
tax is withheld at a rate of 20%, the net amount due to non-resident shareholders will be 35.93610 cents per
share. A reduced dividend withholding tax rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-
resident shareholder has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in respect of
uncertificated shares, or the company, in respect of certificated shares:
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
shareholders 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. Shareholders are requested to seek professional advice on the
appropriate action to take.
The distribution is payable in accordance with the timetable below:
Last day to trade cum distribution Monday, 12 June 2017
Shares will trade ex distribution Tuesday, 13 June 2017
Record date Thursday, 15 June 2017
Payment date Monday, 19 June 2017
Shareholders may not dematerialise or rematerialise their shares between Tuesday, 13 June 2017 and Thursday,
15 June 2017, both days inclusive.
Payments of the distribution will be made to shareholders on Monday, 19 June 2017. In respect of dematerialised
shares, the dividend will be transferred to the CSDP accounts/broker accounts on Monday, 19 June 2017.
Certificated shareholders' dividend will be deposited on or about Monday, 19 June 2017.
Income tax reference number: 9770/799/1/47.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT ON CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF HOSPITALITY PROPERTY FUND LIMITED
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of Hospitality Property Fund Limited, set
out on pages 8 - 16 of the provisional report, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial
position as at 31 March 2017 and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows for the period 1 July 2016 to 31 March 2017, and selected explanatory notes.
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial
statements in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for provisional reports,
as set out in note 1 to the financial statements, and the requirements of the Companies Act No.71 of 2008 ("the
Companies Act"), and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance
with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, which applies to a review of historical financial
information performed by the independent auditor of the entity. ISRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether
anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements are not prepared in all
material respects in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. This standard also requires us
to comply with relevant ethical requirements.
A review of financial statements in accordance with ISRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. We perform
procedures, primarily consisting of making inquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate,
and applying analytical procedures, and evaluate the evidence obtained. The procedures performed in a review
are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements.
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated
financial statements of Hospitality Property Fund Limited for the period 1 July 2016 to 31 March 2017 are not
prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements for
provisional reports, as set out in the "basis of preparation and accounting policies" note to the financial statements,
and the requirements of the Companies Act.

Notes to the revised condensed consolidated financial statements
for the period ended 31 March 2017
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements for provisional reports
and the requirements of the Companies Act. The JSE Listings Requirements require provisional reports
to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition
requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the SAICA Financial Reporting
Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the
Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by
IAS:34 Interim Financial Reporting. Financial Director, M R de Lima CA(SA), supervised the preparation
of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies applied in the preparation
of the condensed consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those
applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements as at 30 June 2016. A copy of the
auditors' review report is available for inspection at the company's registered address together with the
financial statements identified in the auditors' report. The auditor's report does not necessarily report on
all the information contained in these results. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of
these results and confirm that the financial information has been correctly extracted from the underlying
financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016, which have been prepared in
accordance with IFRS.
These condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 have been
reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., and their unmodified review conclusion is included on page 7.
2. RESTRUCTURE OF SHARE CAPITAL
As previously announced, in order to comply with REIT's gearing requirement in terms of the JSE Limited
Listings Requirements, restructuring of the company's linked unit capital structure to a simple "all share"
structure, by way of a scheme of arrangement in terms of sections 114 and 115 of the Companies Act and
the adoption of a new Memorandum of Incorporation to take account of the change in the company's
capital structure, received the requisite approval from both A- and B-linked unitholders at the Special
General Meetings held on 21 August 2015. The change in the share capital structure was effective from
11 October 2016.
3. INVESTMENT PROPERTY R'000
Opening net carrying amount 5 169 000
Acquisition of subsidiary at fair value (refer note 5) 2 657 717
Acquisitions, maintenance and development of investment properties 73 262
Fair value adjustments recognised through profit or loss 205 333
Disposal of investment property (107 639)
Transfer of investment property from non-current assets held for sale/trading 63 365
Closing net carrying amount 8 061 038
The group's investment properties have been categorised as level 3 values based on the inputs to the
valuation technique used. The group has elected to measure investment properties at fair value. The fair
value is determined by using the discounted cash flow method by discounting the rental income (based on
expected net cash flows of the underlying hotels) after considering the capital expenditure requirements.
The expected cash flows are discounted using an appropriate discount rate. The core discount rate is
calculated using the R186 (long bond) at the time of valuation, to which is added premiums for market
risk and equity and debt costs. The discount rate takes into account a risk premium associated with the
local economy as well as that specific to the local property market and the hotel industry. Fair values are
estimated annually by an appointed valuer.
As at 31 March 2017 the significant unobservable inputs were as follows:
- A weighted average rental growth rate of 5.5%;
- A revisionary capitalisation rate of 7.26%; and
- A risk-adjusted discount rate of 12.76%
The table below indicates the sensitivities of the aggregate property values for a 5% change in the net
cash flows:
Increase Decrease
Rm Rm
5% change in the net cash flows 402 (402)
25bps change in the terminal capitalisation rate (199) 162
50bps change in the discount rate (301) 279
4. PROFIT ON SALE OF INVESTMENT PROPERTY
The Inn on the Square was disposed of for a cash consideration of R157 million on 20 November 2016. The
fair value of the property at the date of sale was R108 million and a break fee of R12 million was paid to
the management company due to the sale. The profit realised on the sale amounted to R36 million. Other
profit on sale of investment properties realised in the period amounted to R1 million.
5. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY
On 1 September 2016, the Fund acquired the entire share capital of Fezisource Proprietary Limited
("Fezisource"), a letting operation, from Southern Sun Hotels Proprietary Limited, in consideration for
which, the Fund issued 145 000 000 no par value ordinary shares on the new structure to Southern Sun
Hotels Proprietary Limited, to the value of R2 673 293. Management determined that the acquisition
meets the definition of a business combination as opposed to an asset acquisition.
5.1 The fair valuation of the net assets acquired equates to the fair value of the consideration paid at the
date of acquisition, and the group has recognised goodwill of R16 million with no intangible assets
having been identified in respect of this acquisition. The acquired business contributed incremental
revenues of R119 million and distributable income of R119 million to the group for the period from
date of control to 31 March 2017. Had the acquisition occurred on 1 April 2016, rental income and
distributable income would have increased by an additional R66 million. These amounts have been
calculated using the group's accounting policies. The fair value of net assets acquired is as follows:
Rm
Investment properties 2 657 717
Other current assets 12 963
Cash and cash equivalents 88 047
Other current liabilities (101 437)
Total identifiable net assets acquired 2 657 290

(1) The goodwill was subsequently impaired as noted below
5.2 Acquisition-related costs
Transaction costs of R18 million were incurred with respect to the share restructure. The transaction
cost is recognised in Stated Capital as shown on the Statement of Changes in Equity.
5.3 Impairment of goodwill
Opening balance 16 003
Impairment loss (16 003)
Carrying amount at year end -
The goodwill resulted from the acquisition of the subsidiary noted above.
Impairment testing for cash-generating unit containing goodwill
For the purpose of the annual impairment testing of goodwill, the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit was based on its value in use and a full impairment loss of R16 million was
recognised.
The recoverable amount was calculated by discounting the projected future cash flows for a period
of five years generated from the continuing use of the unit and was based on the same assumptions
noted in Note 3.
6. PROVISION FOR SHAREHOLDERS REDEMPTION
The provision relates to the dissenting shareholders appraisal rights. The Board determined a fair value of
R2.90 per appraisal share, which amounts to a total fair value of R24 million. In terms of section 164(14)(b),
the dissenting shareholders have applied to the court to determine a fair value.
7. SEGMENTAL POLICY
Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. The reportable segments
have been changed from the previous reporting period. Performance is measured based on operating
profit before finance costs, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the
group's CEO. Geographical segments are used to measure performance as the group's CEO believes
that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other
entities that operate within these industries, particularly post the acquisition of the additional hotel
properties during the period.
8. CONTINGENT LIABILITY
On 20 November 2016, the Inn on the Square was sold. The Fund has given certain guarantees, which in
total shall not exceed 10% of the sales price of R157 million or R5 million in respect of any one guarantee,
these guarantees expire on 19 October 2017. Management is of the view that the likelihood of any of the
guarantees being claimed, which may result in a cash outflow, is remote.
9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Tsogo Sun acquired 55% of the HPF B-linked units (27% of the voting interest) in August 2015. Tsogo Sun
then acquired a controlling stake in the Fund, through the injection of hotel assets such that the issue
of shares to Tsogo Sun resulted in Tsogo Sun owning 50.6% of the shares following the reconstitution
of HPF's capital into a single class of shares. The remaining administrative conditions precedent to the
transaction were fulfilled in August 2016 and the effective date of the transaction was 1 September 2016.
The acquisition was in line with the Fund's strategy and has therefore not changed the composition of
the Fund. Rental income received from Tsogo Sun, for the period 1 September 2016 to 31 March 2017,
was R119 million.
10. CAPITAL COMMITMENT
The board has committed a total of R127 million for maintenance and expansion capital items at its hotel
properties of which R127 million is anticipated to be spent during the next financial year. R7 million of the
committed capital expenditure has been contracted for.
