ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial information for the year ended
30 June 2010 has been prepared in accordance with the recognition
and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) and the presentation and disclosure requirements
of IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies
applied, other than those described below, are consistent with
those adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 30
June 2009.
The group has adopted the following new standard and amendment
which are mandatory for the first time for the financial year
beginning 1 July 2009:
- IAS 1 (Revised) - Presentation of Financial Statements, which
requires changes in equity not relating to equity owners to be
disclosed in a separate statement. The group has elected to present
a statement of comprehensive income.
- IFRS 8 - Operating Segments, which requires an entity to present
segment information on the same basis as that used for internal
reporting purposes. The group determined that the operating
segments were the same as the business segments previously
identified under IAS 14 - Segmental Reporting, resulting in no
material change to the segmental report.
REVIEW OPINION
The condensed consolidated financial information for the year ended
30 June 2010 has 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.
EARNINGS AND DIVIDEND
Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2010 declined 1% from last year
to R8.0 billion, while comparable revenue (excluding Monticello in
Chile and the Federal Palace in Nigeria) was 3% lower. Gaming
revenue was in line with last year at R6.2 billion while rooms
revenue declined by 5%.
EBITDA of R2.5 billion was 7% lower than last year and the EBITDA
margin declined 2.2 percentage points to 32.0%. The lower margin is
due to the contraction in comparable revenue and increases in
operating costs. Excluding the results of Monticello and the
Federal Palace, the EBITDA margin was 32.9% versus 36.2% last year.
Fluctuations in the Rand and Chilean Peso against the US Dollar
during the year resulted in a net exchange loss of R15 million
compared to a gain of R42 million last year.
Net interest paid decreased by 19% from R626 million to R506
million as a result of lower prevailing interest rates and lower
borrowings.
Tax at R452 million declined by 26% from last year as a result of
the lower earnings in the current year and the reversal of prior
year over-provisions. The effective tax rate excluding non
deductible preference share dividends, STC and prior year over-
provisions was 36% (33%) due primarily to other permanent
differences.
Adjusted headline earnings of R512 million and diluted adjusted
headline earnings per share of 507 cents were 15% and 18% below
last year respectively.
Trading conditions are stabilising and the group`s financial
position and debt ratios have strengthened. Capital expenditure for
the year ahead is expected to be significantly lower than
originally forecast and the board has therefore resolved to resume
dividend payments. A dividend of 100 cents per share has been
declared.

GAMING
Comparable revenue from gaming decreased by 2% from last year as
customers continued to feel the economic pressures. Popularity of
the properties remains high and footfalls strong but spend per
customer has declined across the board.
GrandWest was again specifically impacted by the depressed regional
economy and achieved revenue of R1 582 million and EBITDA of R614
million which were 4% and 9% below last year respectively. The
EBITDA margin of 38.8% declined by 2.3 percentage points from
41.1%.
Carnival City achieved revenue of R965 million and EBITDA of R303
million, a decline compared to last year of 3% and 14%
respectively. This resulted in an EBITDA margin of 31.4% which was
3.8 percentage points below last year. Some disruption on the
casino floor due to refurbishment resulted in a marginal loss of
market share, with the group`s share of the Gauteng market for the
year declining from 20.9% to 20.6%. EBITDA was also impacted by
increased property taxes and energy costs.
Sibaya performed satisfactorily, increasing revenue by 5% to R849
million. EBITDA of R296 million was in line with last year, while
the EBITDA margin of 34.9% declined by 1.5 percentage points. The
KwaZulu-Natal market grew by 3.8% in the year and Sibaya`s market
share at 35.5% was 0.3 percentage points higher.
Boardwalk`s revenue declined by 1% to R414 million and EBITDA by 7%
to R160 million. As a result the EBITDA margin declined 2.5
percentage points to 38.6%.
Monticello closed for repairs following the earthquake on 27
February 2010, and re-opened again on 30 June. Property damage of
US$8.2 million and a business interruption claim of US$25 million
was finalised with insurers. This amount includes re-launch costs
of US$2.2 million which will be spent in the 2011 financial year.
The group results include trading for Monticello up to the date of
the earthquake and the opening day of 30 June 2010, the business
interruption claim of US$22.8 million and operating costs incurred
during the closed period. Included in adjusted headline earnings is
the insurance deductible of US$7.5 million.
The earthquake and its consequences masked a positive trading trend
at Monticello. Without it, revenue was anticipated to have
increased by more than 122% over last year, and the EBITDA achieved
of R99 million (which did include the business interruption
proceeds) compares favourably to the R22 million loss in the
previous year.
HOTELS AND RESORTS
Rooms revenue of R857 million declined by 5% from last year. Group
occupancy was down 5 percentage points at 67% and an average room
rate of R898 was achieved, which was a marginal decline on last
year. The occupancy decline was due primarily to Sun City, The
Table Bay and the Zambian hotels experiencing weaker demand from
both international markets and the groups and conventions sector.
While occupancy levels during the World Cup were below
expectations, higher room rates were achieved, improving the
overall achieved room rates particularly at Sun City and The Table
Bay.
Sun City`s room occupancy was 5 percentage points lower at 69%
while the average room rate was 7% higher than last year at R1 334.
EBITDA declined by 16% to R173 million. The lower EBITDA was
primarily the result of the lower occupancy achieved and increased
property and energy costs.
The Table Bay achieved occupancy of 53% (67%) and the average room
rate increased by 5% in the current year to R2 033 resulting in an
EBITDA decline of 46% from last year to R35 million.
The Royal Livingstone and Zambezi Sun achieved an aggregate
occupancy of 49% (60%) at an average room rate of US$189, a 12%
decline against last year. In US dollars, EBITDA was 45% below last
year.
The Botswana operations achieved revenue of R156 million and EBITDA
of R48 million, which was 14% and 29% below last year respectively.
The decline was exacerbated by the 10% strengthening of the Rand
against the Botswana Pula.
The Federal Palace transaction was completed on 26 May 2010 with
the group now owning 49% of the company. Prior to this date, the
29% investment was held as an associate. The group has invested
US$28 million in equity and advanced a loan of US$15 million to the
company. An associate loss of R3 million was incurred for the nine
months from September to May 2010. The casino opened in December
2009 and steady progress has been made in attracting gaming
customers to the property. Demand in Lagos was subdued for the year
with consequent pressure on occupancy and rates resulting in an
aggregate occupancy of 36% at an average room rate of US$320.
MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
Management fees and related income of R607 million was 9% lower
than last year, while EBITDA of R345 million was 10% lower.
Included in revenue are development fees of R26 million compared to
R40 million last year.
FINANCIAL POSITION
The group`s borrowings decreased by R217 million to R6.3 billion at
30 June 2010. The Chilean facilities have been restructured
resulting in the shareholders funding a US$50 million repayment of
the long term facility.

BUSINESS COMBINATION - IFRS 3
On 26 May 2010 the Federal Palace in Nigeria was consolidated as
follows:
R million
Property, plant and equipment 798
Current assets 92
Deferred tax (13)
Current liabilities (443)
Net assets 434
Minorities` interests (220)
Net assets acquired 214
Previously held associate (93)
Net assets acquired and consideration 121

As permitted by IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, a provisional
purchase price allocation (PPA) was performed, resulting in a fair
value increase of the land. The final PPA will be completed within
the next reporting period.
DEVELOPMENTS
Wild Coast Sun
The first two phases of the Wild Coast Sun refurbishment programme,
which comprised the refurbishment of the casino and 54 rooms, were
completed during the year. The next phase, the refurbishment of an
additional 57 rooms, will be completed by December 2010. The total
project will be completed by mid-2012 at a capital cost of R400
million.
Windmill
Construction of the new Prive area commenced in May 2010 and should
be completed by December 2010. The total capital expenditure on
this project is estimated at R35 million and includes both smoking
and non-smoking facilities, a lounge and separate entrance from a
new private parking area.
Monticello
Monticello was completed just ahead of the earthquake in February
2010 at a final cost of US$262 million.
Federal Palace
The 200-slot and 8-table casino at the Federal Palace Hotel was
opened during December 2009 and the conference facility during
January 2010, at a combined cost of US$19 million. The
refurbishment of the swimming pool and creation of a pool club,
including a water park, sports facilities and exercise area, is
well advanced and is expected to be completed during September 2010
at a cost of US$2.5 million.
SUNWEST EXCLUSIVITY
GrandWest`s initial 10-year casino exclusivity in the Cape
Metropole expires during December 2010. The Provincial Government
of the Western Cape (PGWC) is considering whether to permit one of
the other casino licence holders in the Western Cape to relocate to
the Cape Metropole and is engaging interested stakeholders before
taking a final decision in this regard. The PGWC has indicated that
it would seek to extend GrandWest`s exclusivity to enable proper
completion of this exercise and any consequential processes.
Insufficient information is currently available to assess the
potential impacts on GrandWest`s revenue and profitability.
However, in the event that a relocation and establishment of a new
casino goes ahead, it is likely to be material to GrandWest once
opened, which is unlikely to be before the end of 2012.
BOARDWALK`S CASINO LICENCE
The Eastern Cape Gambling and Betting Board (ECGBB) announced
during September 2009 that Boardwalk is the preferred bidder for
the exclusive gaming licence in Port Elizabeth. Currently the
licensee and the ECGBB are in final consultations on the licence
conditions and finalisation is anticipated in advance of the expiry
of the current licence in October 2010.
OUTLOOK
Although trading conditions are stabilising, it is anticipated that
demand within the gaming and hospitality industries will remain
weak in the year ahead.
Notwithstanding this, some growth in revenue is expected from
existing operations in addition to greater contributions from
Monticello and the Federal Palace. Accordingly, the group expects
growth in adjusted headline earnings per share.
The outlook has not been reviewed or reported on by the company`s
auditors.
