GDF - Gold Reef Resorts - Reviewed financial results for the year ended 31      
December 2010                                                                   
Gold Reef Resorts

REVIEWED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010                  
INTRODUCTION                                                                    
The merger of Gold Reef and Tsogo Sun Holdings (Pty) Ltd ("Tsogo") became       
effective on 24 February 2011 with the new majority shareholders being Tsogo    
Investment Holding Company (Pty) Ltd and SABSA Holdings (Pty) Ltd. As a         
consequence of the merger the board of Gold Reef ("the Board") has been         
reconstituted (see Directorate). The Board approved the change in the financial 
year end of the Company to 31 March. Accordingly, the next financial year end   
will be 31 March 2012. It is intended to change the name of the company to      
"Tsogo Sun Holdings Limited" as soon as possible.                               
Shareholders are reminded that the financial information contained in these     
condensed consolidated provisional financial statements relate to Gold Reef     
prior to the merger.                                                            
OPERATIONS                                                                      
As expected, the difficult trading conditions persisted into the second half of 
2010 although there were signs of economic improvement during the final quarter,
with trading levels at most Group casinos showing signs of improvement. Overall 
the year was challenging with consumer disposable income being impacted by high 
levels of household debt and increased utility and municipal charges. Despite   
this, the recent improvement in retail spending statistics is indicative of     
increasing consumer confidence and potentially further economic recovery in the 
medium term.                                                                    
With these challenging economic conditions, Gold Reef performed well although   
Gold Reef City was particularly impacted in tables revenue, which fell          
significantly in the Prive leading to tables win decreasing by 21,6% in         
comparison to the prior comparative period. Solid performances by all units in  
the fourth quarter of 2010 resulted in total Group revenues remaining flat at   
R2,2 billion, with food and beverages revenues increasing by 8,6% and hotel     
revenues up 60,0% following the successful re-launch of the Gold Reef City Theme
Park Hotel during September 2010. Adjusted EBITDAR decreased 6,8% to R823       
million as a result of the operational gearing within the business, arising from
fixed capacity and a consequential inflexible cost base. The Adjusted EBITDAR   
margin declined to 37,2% from 39,6% in the prior comparative period.            
The Company continued its focus on containing costs throughout the Group with   
total operating expenses (excluding Gaming levies, VAT and costs attributable to
corporate activity) increasing by 6,0% from the previous year. The main         
contributors to this increase being depreciation, utility and employee costs.   
Following the Group refurbishment cycle which included capital expenditure at   
Golden Horse Casino and the Theme Park in the current financial year,           
depreciation and amortisation increased by 11,4% to R206 million. Employee costs
increased by 8,5% to R521 million.                                              
Legal and corporate advisory fees include non-recurring items of R21 million    
relating to the merger with Tsogo as well as legal proceedings relating to the  
Carte Blanche dispute.                                                          
The decline in HEPS of 23,0% to 101,6 cents is in line with the half-year       
performance and is due to the trading circumstances outlined above. Excluding   
the effects of the non-recurring legal and advisory costs, Adjusted HEPS fell   
14,1% to 108,9 cents.                                                           
Net finance costs decreased by R19 million to R114 million as a result of the   
combination of declining interest rates and net debt reduction of R167 million  
to R905 million. Cash flows in the Group remained strong, generating net cash   
from operating activities of R547 million for the year, prior to the payment of 
dividends.                                                                      
Total capex for the year was R189 million, of which R131 million was operational
in order to maintain the standards of the properties. The developmental capex of
R58 million was largely in relation to the Golden Horse Casino refurbishment    
which was completed during the 2010 financial year.                             
GAUTENG                                                                         
Total Gross Gaming Revenue ("GGR") in Gauteng increased by 1,1% from the        
previous comparative period with the majority of the growth attributable to     
slots revenue.                                                                  
Gold Reef City                                                                  
Total revenue at Gold Reef City declined 3,6% to R925 million which is in line  
with the decline in GGR following the marked absence of high roller activity    
during the first half of the year. As a result, Adjusted EBITDAR fell by 8,8% to
R330 million and the Adjusted EBITDAR margin reduced to 35,7% from 37,7%        
achieved in 2009.                                                               
At 31 December 2010, total net debt at the casino was R114 million in comparison
to R157 million in the previous year.                                           
The hotel refurbishment was successfully completed with total capex of R16      
million incurred this year. The contribution of hotel revenue in the fourth     
quarter of 2010 resulted in Theme Park revenue increasing by 10,7% from the     
previous year to R93 million. Excluding the effects of the once-off legal costs 
relating to Carte Blanche, Adjusted EBITDAR declined by only R1 million to R6   
million. The majority of the decrease relates to an adjustment in property rates
which increased utility costs and is not expected to recur.                     
Silverstar Casino                                                               
Silverstar Casino`s performance was disappointing notwithstanding the difficult 
trading environment, producing GGR growth of 0,6% in comparison to the growth in
the Gauteng market of 1,1%. This unit was also impacted by a decline in Prive   
activity. In line with this result, total revenue at the casino increased 0,6%  
to R546 million. Operating costs were well maintained, however cost pressures   
still resulted in margin erosion and Adjusted EBITDAR decreased by 1,9% to R204 
million translating to an Adjusted EBITDAR margin of 37,4%.                     
Total net debt at Silverstar Casino reduced by R108 million to R812 million.    
KWAZULU NATAL                                                                   
Golden Horse Casino                                                             
GGR growth at the casino was in line with the provincial market growth of 4,4%. 
Revenue of R254 million was up 2,4% for the year with Adjusted EBITDAR declining
by 2,7% to R108 million. The Adjusted EBITDAR margin came in 2,3pp lower for the
year at 42,5%.                                                                  
WESTERN CAPE                                                                    
Total GGR in the Western Cape grew by 1,9% from 2009 levels and by 4,5% in the  
second half of 2010, which is an encouraging sign of economic recovery given    
that this was the first province to be impacted by the economic recession.      
Mykonos Casino                                                                  
Mykonos Casino performed well with GGR growth of 4,4% for the year exceeding the
market average. Total revenue increased by 3,5% to R118 million with the casino 
maintaining its Adjusted EBITDAR at R47 million. The slight decline in the      
Adjusted EBITDAR margin to 39,8% was mainly due to costs associated with the    
introduction of smart-card gaming.                                              
Garden Route Casino                                                             
Garden Route Casino did not benefit from the growth in the market during the    
second half of 2010 and in fact experienced its most challenging trading        
conditions over this period with tables and slots GGR declining by 7,8% and 8,1%
respectively. This casino ordinarily trades well over the December period       
following an influx of holiday-makers to the area. Given that consumers were    
cautious with their disposable income over the festive season with few choosing 
to travel, Garden Route Casino`s revenue levels suffered. Total revenue fell    
4,4% to R153 million and Adjusted EBITDAR fell 9,9% to R64 million resulting in 
an Adjusted EBITDAR margin of 41,8%.                                            
FREE STATE                                                                      
Goldfields Casino                                                               
Revenue at Goldfields Casino increased marginally to R120 million. The cost     
impact of introducing smart-card gaming caused Adjusted EBITDAR to decline by   
1,9% to R51 million resulting in an Adjusted EBITDAR margin of 42,5%.           
The adjacent shopping centre development was successfully completed and opened  
for trade during October 2010. Even though footfall to the casino has not       
increased significantly, the centre is expected to attract patrons from areas   
surrounding Welkom and over time, this will hopefully have a positive impact on 
the casino.                                                                     
EASTERN CAPE                                                                    
Queens Casino                                                                   
Queens Casino performed satisfactorily with GGR increasing by 4,6%. Total       
revenue increased 3,9% to R53 million while Adjusted EBITDAR remained flat at   
R12 million. The Adjusted EBITDAR margin declined marginally from 23,5% in 2009 
to 22,6%.                                                                       
BOTSWANA                                                                        
This project is still in the development phase, however trading is expected to  
commence during the second half of 2011. Gold Reef has a 50% interest in the    
gaming operation which forms part of a larger development including a hotel,    
food and beverage facilities as well as retail outlets. At 31 December 2010,    
Gold Reef`s investment in the venture amounted to R6 million.                   
DIRECTORATE                                                                     
Following the merger of Gold Reef and Tsogo, the Board was reconstituted as     
follows:

Should the expected medium-term recovery in the economy occur with consumer     
confidence and spending increasing accordingly, the merged company is well      
placed to benefit. With 14 casinos in six South African provinces and           
approximately 94 hotels both locally and internationally, the asset portfolio of
the combined group will afford shareholders the opportunity to benefit from     
earnings as well as geographical and market segment diversification.            
DIVIDEND                                                                        
The Board intends declaring a dividend, based on the combined earnings of Gold  
Reef and Tsogo and further announcements in this regard will be made after the  
Tsogo results for the year ended 31 March 2011 have been finalised.

NOTES TO THE REVIEWED PROVISIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                          
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION                                                         
The condensed consolidated provisional financial statements for the year ended  
31 December 2010 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 or its successor and the  
requirements of the South African Companies Act. The accounting policies are in 
terms of IFRS as well as materially similar to those applied in the most recent 
audited annual financial statements as at 31 December 2009. The condensed       
consolidated provisional financial information should be read in conjunction    
with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009, which 
have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.                                     
The condensed consolidated provisional financial statements as at 31 December   
2010, and for the year then ended, 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 conclusion is available for inspection at the Company`s       
registered office.                                                              
In addition to earnings per share ("EPS") and headline earnings per share       
("HEPS"), Gold Reef has chosen to report adjusted headline earnings per share   
("Adjusted HEPS") and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation,     
amortisation and rentals ("Adjusted EBITDAR") for the twelve months ended 31    
December 2010 and for the prior corresponding reporting period. The Company is  
of the opinion that the publication of Adjusted HEPS and Adjusted EBITDAR will  
assist the understanding of year-on-year trading results. Adjusted HEPS and     
Adjusted EBITDAR were not previously published at 31 December 2009.             
In arriving at Adjusted HEPS and Adjusted EBITDAR, adjustments were made to     
headline earnings and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation 
and rentals ("EBITDAR") to eliminate non-recurring transactions relating to     
corporate activity, primarily advisory fees and legal costs.                    
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                                          
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual         
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009, as described in those 
annual financial statements.                                                    
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, Adjusted EBITDAR, cash flow and debt.
