The directors of Gooderson is pleased to present the unaudited interim financial
results for the six months ended                                                
31 August 2009.                                                                 
Performance review                                                              
The unaudited interim results of Gooderson Leisure Corporation Limited for the  
six months ended 31 August 2009, reflected group revenue marginally increasing  
from R57.397 million to R57.845 million while group profits attributable to     
ordinary shareholders decreased by 21% from R6.542 million to R5.139 million.   
The net asset value (NAV) and net tangible asset value (NTAV) have both         
increased by 30% from 85.74 to 111.60 cents per share and 84.91 to 110.77 cents 
per share respectively.                                                         
The trading period under review was affected by the general meltdown of the     
global economy, which also impacted on the South African economy.  This resulted
in a significant decline in both local and international tourism and a downturn 
in conference bookings.  The planned refurbishment of the group`s hotel rooms   
also resulted in extra expenditure.                                             
The revenues of the Durban Hotels were down compared to the same period last    
year, further emphasizing the tight economic trading conditions as well as      
increased interest costs and depreciation charges emanating from upgrading and  
refurbishing all Hotels and Lodges.  The timeshare division is still performing 
well despite the economic downturn, but there is a major shift from clients to  
buy on credit through our in house finance company "Goodfin".  Higher write offs
in this division still remain within the industry norm.                         
The acquisition of the Sanrock Resort and Conference Centre (previously Avuxeni)
in July 2009, impacted on the group`s profit as we continue to extensively      
upgrade and refurbish this property also to Gooderson`s standards.              
Black Economic Empowerment                                                      
We are committed to the transformation of the group through broad based         
empowerment, but due to the current economic environment, no negotiations are in
progress with regards to ownership.                                             
We are pleased to report that the group has achieved a "BB" rating (level six   
contributor) for the 2008 financial year which is a good improvement from the   
previous year.  The "BB" status will ensure business compliance with the        
requirements of various government departments and other corporate companies.   
Developments and Refurbishment                                                  
The Tropicana and Beach Hotels in Durban`s beachfront are being upgraded and    
refurbished in preparation for the FIFA World Cup in 2010, as well as the       
Sanrock Resort and Conference Centre situated at Modimolle, Limpopo.            
Eight timeshare units at the Fairways Resort in the Southern Drakensberg and    
five timeshare units at Natal Spa in Paulpietersburg are currently under        
construction and would be released for occupation in December 2009.             
Post Balance Sheet Events                                                       
Gooderson purchased the Fabz Estate Hotel and Restaurant in Lonehill,           
Johannesburg, during November 2009. This acquisition forms part of the expansion
of Gooderson`s portfolio and product base beyond KwaZulu Natal. The property    
currently features a 28-bedroom hotel with a restaurant and four conference     
facilities with the capacity to host up to 120 delegates and is situated on 1.71
hectares                                                                        
We envisage that both of the recent acquisitions will not contribute to profits 
of the company until late 2010.                                                 
Prospects                                                                       
Notwithstanding the current economic downturn, the directors remain positive    
that the business can withstand the negative economic downturn and continue to  
position the group for growth in the future.  Further with the acquisition of   
two new Hotels, and the development of additional timeshare units in the        
resorts, Gooderson will be well positioned to accelerate growth once the economy
begins to show positive signs.                                                  
Basis of Preparation                                                            
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the presentation as well 
as the disclosure requirements of IAS34 - Interim Financial Reporting in        
compliance with the Listing Requirements of the JSE Limited as well as the      
Companies Act.                                                                  
Corporate Governance                                                            
The Group subscribes to the principles of, and implements where possible, the   
recommendations of the King  Code on Corporate Governance.                      
Dividend                                                                        
No dividend is paid as an ordinary dividend number 3 of 3.85 cents per share was
paid to shareholders on 29 June 2009.  The group has a policy to declare        
dividends at the end of the financial year.                                     
Appreciation                                                                    
We thank our loyal staff, the majority of whom have remained with the group for 
more than 10 years, for their commitment and hard work.  We also thank our      
business partners, suppliers, advisers and most importantly our shareholders for
their support and faith in the group.                                           
By order of the Board.
