REVIEWED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2009                  
HIGHLIGHTS                                                                      
Revenue up 1% to R2,2 billion                                                   
EBITDAR up 1% to R897 million                                                   
HEPS up 1% to 131,9 cents                                                       
Ordinary dividend of 65 cents per share maintained

COMMENTARY                                                                      
Trading conditions in 2009 were challenging with the recession in South Africa  
impacting on the consumer`s disposable income and access to credit and fuelling 
uncertainties about the future of the job market. Notwithstanding this, Gold    
Reef produced a solid set of results with increases in revenue and earnings     
before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and rentals ("EBITDAR") as well
as market share gains in all but one province. Both Group revenue and EBITDAR   
increased by 1% to R2,2 billion and R897 million respectively.                  
The Company continued to focus on its controllable cost base, most notably      
employee costs which increased by only 4% and was achieved by headcount         
reductions through natural attrition. As a result of these cost controls, the   
Company was able to maintain the EBITDAR margin achieved in 2008, producing an  
EBITDAR margin of 40,3%. Following recent significant investments in the Group`s
properties, either in regard to recently opened casinos or extensive            
refurbishments at existing properties, depreciation and amortisation increased  
15% to R185 million. The increase in other operating expenses of 3% to R336     
million was impacted by repairs and maintenance and utility costs which         
increased by 27% to R85 million.                                                
Net finance costs of R133 million were in line with 2008 owing to the interest  
rate hedge that is in place over the Silverstar Casino debt balance of R1,2     
billion, which effectively results in a fixed interest rate on the majority of  
the Group`s debt balance of R1,5 billion as at 31 December 2009. Four of the    
Company`s interest rate hedges expired during the year with the hedge contract  
for Silverstar Casino due to expire in October 2011. Group debt (net of cash on 
hand) was R1,1 billion at year end which translates to a 1,2 multiple of        
EBITDAR. Headline earnings per share ("HEPS") increased 1% to 131,9 cents.      
Cash flow of R851 million was generated from operations during the year. Total  
capex was R206 million in 2009, down from R445 million the previous year. Of    
this, R93 million related to operational capex which increased by R1 million    
from the prior year. Developmental capex incurred in 2009 of R113 million was   
considerably less than the R353 million incurred during 2008 because of the     
completion of Silverstar Casino in 2008. The Company continued with the         
conversion of all remaining properties to smartcard gaming, which has been      
completed in the first quarter of 2010.                                         
OPERATIONS                                                                      
GAUTENG                                                                         
Total Gross Gaming Revenue ("GGR") in Gauteng contracted by 1% compared to      
growth of 8% in 2008 and double digit growth in prior years, clearly reflecting 
the current subdued consumer environment. The Company`s market share in Gauteng 
however increased from 24,5% to 25,1%, due mainly to Silverstar Casino`s market 
share growth.                                                                   
Gold Reef City                                                                  
Total revenue at the casino declined by 3% to R960 million as footfall remained 
unchanged from the previous year. In line with the performance of the Gauteng   
market, Gold Reef City Casino`s GGR decreased by 1,3%. In spite of the cost     
control measures in place, the shortfall in revenue resulted in margin erosion  
with the EBITDAR margin decreasing from 38,0% to 37,8% and EBITDAR down 4% to   
R362 million. Even though theatre revenues fell, losses were significantly      
reduced from R21 million in 2008 to R12 million following the successful change 
to the theatre`s production mix. The theatre continues to be a satisfactory     
driver of footfall to the casino.                                               
At 31 December 2009, total debt at the casino was R189 million in comparison to 
R247 million in the previous year.                                              
The Theme Park performed well with revenue increasing by 25% to R84 million and 
EBITDAR increasing from R2 million in 2008 to R7 million in 2009. The EBITDAR   
margin benefited from the effects of operational gearing and a focus on cost    
control. Ongoing maintenance of the Park`s facilities continued throughout the  
year and the hotel refurbishment is expected to be completed in the first half  
of 2010.                                                                        
Silverstar Casino                                                               
Silverstar Casino`s revenue increased by 6% to R543 million while EBITDAR       
increased by 11% from the previous year to R208 million. Despite recent rate and
utility cost increases, the EBITDAR margin increased to 38,3% following improved
revenue levels and the implementation of strict cost control measures. The      
casino`s market share in Gauteng increased from 8,5% to 9,2% while footfall     
increased by 8% from the previous year. The ability of the casino to capture the
additional market share was enhanced by the completion of all facilities during 
2008, allowing patrons to experience the full range of entertainment options    
during 2009.                                                                    
At 31 December 2009, total debt at the casino was R1,2 billion, down from R1,3  
billion reflected in the previous year.                                         
KWAZULU NATAL                                                                   
Golden Horse Casino                                                             
Golden Horse Casino`s revenue increased by 2% to R248 million which lagged the  
provincial growth rate of 5% due to a major refurbishment of the gaming floor,  
food and beverage facilities, conferencing and the hotel during the year. This  
also impacted on the casino`s market share which fell slightly from 10,6% in    
2008 to 10,2% in 2009. The casino phase of the refurbishment has now been       
completed, well within the budget of R81 million. The casino also successfully  
introduced smartcard gaming during the year. Further capex has been allocated   
for the refurbishment of the exterior of the property as well as hotel bedrooms 
during 2010.                                                                    
The casino maintained EBITDAR levels, achieving R111 million in 2009. As a      
result of a focus on containing costs, the casino managed to achieve an EBITDAR 
margin of 44,7% for the year.                                                   
WESTERN CAPE                                                                    
The economic recession impacted on the Western Cape market more than any other  
province in which Gold Reef operates. The tourism and property sectors in       
particular were adversely affected and GGR in the province fell by 6% from the  
previous year.                                                                  
Mykonos Casino                                                                  
Despite footfall declining by 9%, revenue at Mykonos Casino increased 2% to R114
million and the casino`s market share increased from 5,0% to 5,5%, a satisfying 
performance considering tough market conditions. Higher costs resulted in       
EBITDAR declining by 2% to R47 million, with the EBITDAR margin at 41,3%.       
During the year the refurbishment of the casino was completed and smartcard     
gaming has been introduced during the first quarter of 2010.                    
Garden Route Casino                                                             
Revenue at Garden Route Casino fell by 2% to R160 million for the year, a       
satisfactory result relative to the decline in GGR in the province as well a    
decrease in footfall of 8% from 2008 levels. In spite of these challenges, the  
casino managed to increase its market share slightly to 7,6%.                   
The shortfall in revenue caused EBITDAR to decline by 11% to R71 million and the
EBITDAR margin decreased to 44,7%.                                              
During the second half of the year, the casino successfully completed the       
refurbishment of the gaming floor, adding 36 new slot machines as well as food  
and beverage facilities. The casino also successfully converted to smartcard    
gaming, all of which was funded out of cash resources. Further capex of R6      
million has been allocated for the addition of a sports bar during 2010.        
FREE STATE                                                                      
Goldfields Casino                                                               
Revenues improved slightly at Goldfields Casino during the year, increasing by  
1% to R119 million, as the casino grew its market share to 31,0% in 2009. This a
relatively good performance given that GGR in the Free State fell by 1%. EBITDAR
decreased by 2% to R52 million with the EBITDAR margin falling by 1% to 43,7% in
2009.                                                                           
Smartcard gaming was introduced at the casino during the first quarter of 2010. 
Goldfields Casino is also expected to benefit from the completion of a major    
shopping complex refurbishment adjacent to the casino during 2010.              
EASTERN CAPE                                                                    
Queens Casino                                                                   
Trading at Queens Casino improved notably during 2009 with revenues up 11% to   
R51 million and EBITDAR up 100% to R12 million, albeit off a low base.          
Consequently, the EBITDAR margin achieved in 2009 is now at a more acceptable   
level of 22,7% for a business of this size. The casino also increased its market
share slightly in challenging trading conditions which saw GGR in the Eastern   
Cape fall by 2%.                                                                
BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT ("BEE")                                              
During 2009 all of the relevant provincial gambling boards approved the         
application for the indirect acquisition by Tsogo Sun of the shares of certain  
empowerment shareholders of Gold Reef. Gold Reef remains committed to ensuring  
that empowerment is sufficient throughout the Group for commercial, strategic   
and regulatory reasons, including complying with all licence conditions.        
MERGER OF GOLD REEF AND TSOGO SUN                                               
On 18 February 2010 Gold Reef announced that the Company and Tsogo had entered  
into an agreement detailing the terms and conditions of a merger of the         
respective gaming and hotel businesses of Gold Reef and Tsogo (the "Proposed    
Transaction"), to form a combined business referred to as the "Merged Entity".  
The Proposed Transaction will be effected through the acquisition by Gold Reef  
of the entire issued share capital of Tsogo from the shareholders of Tsogo and  
the purchase consideration will be discharged by the issue of Gold Reef shares. 
The Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent         
including, inter alia, shareholder, gambling board and competition authorities` 
approvals.                                                                      
DIRECTORATE                                                                     
M Krok resigned on 2 July 2009 as chairman and director of Gold Reef.           
Consequently, Dr EN Banda was appointed independent non-executive chairman of   
Gold Reef.                                                                      
As a result of Casinos Austria`s disinvestment in Gold Reef, J Leutgeb also     
resigned as a director of the Company on 2 July 2009. In accordance with the    
board`s age retirement policy, AJ Aaron retired as a director on 8 July 2009.   
On 25 August 2009 P Vallet was appointed as a non-executive director to the Gold
Reef board.                                                                     
L Fick was appointed as Company Secretary with effect from 25 November 2009.    
PROSPECTS                                                                       
Difficult trading conditions are expected to continue into 2010. Currently there
are limited indications of recovery with the consumer still feeling the effects 
of last year`s recession.                                                       
Gold Reef has a high quality asset portfolio, low gearing and strong cash flows.
The Company is well positioned to benefit from improvements in the economy as   
they arise. However, expectations are that the recovery will be slow and growth 
will be moderate during 2010.                                                   
The proposed merger with Tsogo Sun creates a Company of significant scale and   
diversification across geographies and markets. The Merged Entity will look to  
capitalise on new growth opportunities as a larger and stronger Company.        
DIVIDEND                                                                        
The board has declared a dividend of 65 cents per share which is covered 2,0    
times by HEPS. From time to time the board will reconsider dividend cover based 
on the Group`s cash flow, gearing and capital requirements. Dividends will be   
financed out of Gold Reef`s cash resources after servicing the debt of the      
Group`s underlying operations.                                                  
The salient dates for the dividend are as follows:                              
Last day to trade (cum dividend) Friday, 16 April 2010 Shares to commence

On Monday 26 April 2010 the final cash dividend will be electronically          
transferred to the bank accounts of all certificated shareholders where this    
facility is available. Where electronic fund transfer is not available or

1. Basis of preparation                                                         
The condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year ended  
31 December 2009 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial  
Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), IAS 34 - Interim financial reporting, AC500       
Standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board and the requirements of   
the South African Companies Act. The accounting policies are consistent with    
IFRS as well as those applied in the most recent audited annual financial       
statements as at 31 December 2008. The condensed consolidated provisional       
financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial   
statements for the year ended 31 December 2008, which have been prepared in     
accordance with IFRS.                                                           
The condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year ended  
31 December 2009 have been reviewed by the Group`s auditors,                    
PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. This review has been conducted in accordance with   
International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial 
Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", and their      
unmodified review opinion is available for inspection at the Company`s          
registered office.                                                              
Gold Reef has previously reported Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted HEPS in the     
December 2008 annual financial statements. Both Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted   
HEPS were arrived at after adjusting for charges relating to corporate activity 
and various non-recurring items. Since these charges are no longer considered to
be material, Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted HEPS have not been reported on for   
the year ended 31 December 2009.

those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008, as
described in those annual financial statements.                                 
The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the   
first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2009:                     
IAS 1 (revised), `Presentation of financial statements`. The revised standard   
prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is `non-owner  
changes in equity`) in the statement of changes in equity, requiring `non-owner 
changes in equity` to be presented separately from `owner changes in equity`.   
All `non-owner changes in equity` are required to be shown in a performance     
statement. Entities can choose whether to present one performance statement (the
statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (the income statement and  
statement of comprehensive income). The Group has elected to present two        
statements: an income statement and a statement of comprehensive income. The    
provisional financial statements have been prepared under the revised disclosure
requirements.                                                                   
IFRS 8, `Operating segments` (IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14, `Segment reporting`). The 
standard requires a `management approach` under which segment information is    
presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This  
has resulted in an increase in the number of reportable segments presented, as  
previously the Company only reported one business segment, being casino         
operations. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the     
internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief    
operating decision-maker has been identified as the Group executive directors   
who are responsible for making strategic decisions.                             
3. Segment information                                                          
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Group executive   
directors. These individuals review the Group`s internal reporting in order to  
assess performance and allocate resources and have determined the operating     
segments based on these reports. The executive directors consider the business  
from both a geographic and operational perspective and assess the performance of
the operating segments based on a measure of Revenue, EBITDAR, cash flow and    
debt.
