EBITDAR represents earnings after BEE transaction charges but before interest,

Segment information                                                             
IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires a `management approach` whereby segment      
information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting  
purposes to the chief operating decision-maker/s who have been identified as    
the Group`s executive directors. These individuals review the Group`s internal  
reporting by hotel brand in order to assess performance and allocate            
resources. Depreciation for reportable segments is an asymmetrical expense as   
assets are not classified by segment. The depreciation charge for each          
reportable segment relates to furniture, fittings and equipment, whilst the     
majority of the charge for central office and other relates to hotel            
buildings.                                                                      
COMMENTARY                                                                      
The average occupancy level of 70% for the year to 30 June 2010 was seven       
percentage points lower than the 77% of a year earlier, matching the level      
reported at the interim stage.                                                  
Turnover for the year grew by 13% to R749,1 million boosted by an 8% increase   
in available room numbers and higher achieved average room rates.               
Occupancy levels during the FIFA World Cup period in June were satisfactory     
considering the late cancellation of a large number of bookings by FIFA`s       
associate MATCH. Occupancies were however, not as favourable as originally      
expected, particularly in areas outside the Gauteng region. Significantly       
higher room rates than those of a year earlier were achieved throughout the     
event.                                                                          
Primarily as a result of the lower occupancies, the EBITDA margin for the year  
decreased by 4 percentage points to 51,1%, resulting in normalised EBITDA       
increasing by only 4% to R382,8 million. Depreciation increased by 36% as a     
result of the high capital expenditure, resulting in an increase in the         
normalised operating profit of 1%.                                              
Interest income declined by R4,5 million due to lower cash balances while the   
interest expense rose by 226% to R7,6 million as a result of increased          
borrowings. Interest of R15 million (2009 - R3,3 million) was capitalised on    
the new developments during construction.                                       
With the upper end of the market having been hardest hit by the drop in         
occupancies, the group`s share of the profit from the Courtyard Joint Venture   
fell by 23% to R6,9 million.                                                    
Profit before tax on a normalised basis decreased by 4% while normalised        
headline earnings fell by 1% to R233,1 million. Normalised headline earnings    
per share, on a fully diluted basis, decreased by 2% to 540,8 cents.            
In line with the group`s policy of paying out 60% of normalised earnings, a     
final dividend of 177 cents has been declared, 12% higher than the previous     
year`s final dividend.                                                          
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME UPDATE                                                    
During the year, the group successfully opened a number of hotels as part of    
its biggest ever development programme, on time and within budget. This         
resulted in the number of hotels rising to 50 (2009 - 43) and room numbers      
increasing by 24% to 6 053 during the year. This programme included:            
Road Lodge Umhlanga Ridge - 125 rooms; City Lodge Fourways - 211 rooms; City    
Lodge OR Tambo Airport - 303 rooms; Road Lodge Port Elizabeth Airport - 90      
rooms; Road Lodge Bloemfontein Airport - 66 rooms; City Lodge Lynnwood - 205    
rooms; Road Lodge Southgate - 118 rooms; Town Lodge Sandton Grayston Drive -    
extended by 70 rooms.                                                           
The two hotels still to be completed as part of this development programme -    
City Lodge Hatfield (184 rooms) and Town Lodge Port Elizabeth (203 rooms) are   
on track to open towards the end of calendar 2010, taking the number of hotels  
in the group to 52 and room numbers to 6 440.                                   
OUTLOOK                                                                         
Trading after the final of the FIFA World Cup on 11 July has been               
disappointing amid clear evidence that normal business travel patterns have     
not yet resumed.                                                                
While it is difficult to predict, trading conditions are not expected to        
normalise until the second half of 2011. The significantly enlarged group is    
well positioned to benefit from any upturn in the economy.                      
Opportunities to continue growing the group`s footprint in South and southern   
Africa are being closely examined and ongoing research continues into other     
potential expansion markets such as India.                                      
DIRECTORATE                                                                     
Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the founding of the group, Hans         
Enderle retired from the board on 1 August. Hans` leadership, vision and        
creativity, both as chief executive and chairman, were a hugely significant     
factor in the successful development and positioning of the group. His          
contribution has ensured the achievement of consistently superior results. The  
board thanks him and wishes him well in his retirement.                         
Bulelani Ngcuka, who has been a non-executive director since 2008, was          
appointed as non-executive chairman on 1 August. The group looks forward to     
continuing to grow and prosper under his leadership.

These condensed annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance    
with the recognition and measurement requirements of International Financial    
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and with the presentation and disclosure           
requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Listings Requirements   
of the JSE Limited, the AC500 series issued by the Accounting Practices Board   
and the Companies Act of South Africa, as amended.                              
The accounting policies used are consistent with those used in the annual       
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009, except for the adoption   
of IFRS 8 Operating Segments which has no impact on the results but requires    
additional information. The amendment to IFRS 8 relating to the non-disclosure  
of segment assets has been early adopted.
