REVIEW OF RESULTS

Local trading conditions, particularly for the group`s bookmaker and other agent
totalisator operations, remained challenging whilst Rand strength against the   
major trading currencies impacted negatively on the group`s international       
operations. Despite this, profit before income tax (PBT) from the Group`s       
international and ongoing fixed odds (Betting World) operations increased by a  
pleasing 20% and 12% respectively.                                              
Total income decreased by 1% to R443,4 million (2010: R447,3 million), the      
decrease primarily due to income from the terminated Racing UK ("RUK") rights   
agreement included in the comparative period (the agreement was terminated on 28
February 2010). Excluding RUK income, total income increased by 5%.             
Total net betting income increased by 3% to R333,5 million (2010: R323,9        
million).                                                                       
Other operating income that comprises, inter alia, bookmakers` levies, unclaimed
dividends and breakages, stable rentals and local and international broadcasting
levies/fees decreased by                                                        
11% to R97,6 million (2010: R109,7 million). Excluding RUK income in the        
comparative period, other operating income increased by 16%.                    
As a consequence of increased foreign currency denominated assets and a         
softening in investment returns, investment income decreased by 5% to R1,9      
million (2010: R2 million).                                                     
Operating expenses and overheads were well contained and increased marginally to
R361,6 million (2010: R361,2 million).                                          
Profit before finance costs, income tax, depreciation and amortisation decreased
by 4% to R71,3 million (2010: R74,4 million).                                   
The Group continues to invest in its capital infrastructure and as a consequence
the depreciation and amortisation charge increased by 5% to R17,2 million (2010:
R16,3 million).                                                                 
Profit from operations decreased by 7% to R54,2 million (2010: R58 million).    
Profit before income tax expense, which includes a R4,4 million profit on step- 
up of Betting World becoming a subsidiary in the comparative period, decreased  
by 13% to                                                                       
R54,2 million (2010: R62,7 million). Attributable earnings decreased by 17% to  
R32 million (2010: R38,6 million).                                              
Headline earnings and headline earnings per share (HEPS) decreased by 9% to     
R32,5 million (2010: R35,6 million) and 42,96 cents per share (2010: 47,10 cents
per share) respectively.                                                        
Diluted HEPS also decreased by 9% to 42,77 cents per share (2010: 47,10 cents   
per share).                                                                     
LOCAL OPERATIONS                                                                
Income from local operations increased by 3% to R403,7 million (2010: R392,3    
million) with income from Betting World up a pleasing 10% to R47,6 million      
(2010: R43,3 million) and income from totalisator, racing and other operations  
up 2% to R356 million (2010: R349 million).                                     
Totalisator handle struggled to gain traction in the first half, particularly in
independently operated and managed bookmaker and other agent retail outlets.    
Gold Circle`s Gold Cup meeting, historically held in August each year, was not  
scheduled during the period under review impacting negatively on handle. However
the launch of the `All to come` bet in October 2010 was well received and       
impacted positively on totalisator win and place pools.                         
Totalisator handle on local and imported horseracing as well as the Group`s     
soccer sports bet increased by 1% to R1,41 billion (2010: R1,39 billion). Growth
in soccer pools was curtailed by a decline in the number of betting             
opportunities to 224 (2010: 254) with the local Premier Soccer League having    
started earlier in the comparative period to accommodate the 2010 Soccer world  
cup tournament.                                                                 
Net betting income increased by 3% to R318,7 million (2010: R309,7 million) with
Betting World up 12% to R41,8 million (2010: R37,2 million) and totalisator     
operations up 2% to R277 million (2010: R272,4 million).                        
Betting World`s net betting income was assisted by an improved gross margin of  
15,9% (2010: 15,1%), 6% growth in net betting income from bets placed on horse  
racing, 17% on sport and 178% on numbers.                                       
Operating expenses and overheads increased by 6% to R338,7 million (2010: R320,4

Excluding stakes which decreased by 2% to R78 million (2010: R79,4 million),    
operating expenses and overheads increased by 8% to R260,7 million (2010: R241,1
million) primarily due to employee, marketing and advertising, security,        
electricity, fuel and regulatory compliance costs.                              
PBT from local operations, which includes a R4,4 million profit on step-up of

to R36,8 million (2010:                                                         
R43,7 million) with Betting World up 12% to R9,9 million (2010: R8,9 million)   
and totalisator, racing and other operations down 23% to R26,9 million (2010:

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS                                                        
Since the loss of the RUK rights significant progress has been made, both       
operationally and financially, in positioning South African racing              
internationally whilst leveraging off the opportunities presented in the UK,    
Europe, Asia and Australia and by the Group`s Isle of Man totalisator operation.
Strategic relations have been forged with Australia and Italy who collectively  
make up 27% of international revenue for the period under review.               
Income from international operations was negatively impacted by the strength of 
the Rand and the loss of the RUK rights and decreased by 28% to R39,8 million   
(2010: R55 million). At constant currencies revenue decreased by 21%. Excluding 
RUK revenue, revenue increased by 34% and at constant currencies by 46%.        
Net betting income from the Group`s Isle of Man totalisator operation increased 
by 4% to R14,8 million (2010: R14,2 million) whilst income generated from other 
international initiatives was negatively impacted by the loss of the RUK rights 
and decreased by 38% to R25,2 million (2010: R40,7 million). At constant        
currencies, net betting income increased by a pleasing 16% and income from other
international initiatives decreased by 34%.                                     
Operating expenses and overheads were positively impacted by Rand strength and  
the loss of the RUK rights decreasing by 44% to R22,9 million (2010: R40,8      
million).                                                                       
The Group`s share of profit from its equity accounted investee, Automatic       
Systems Limited (a company listed on the Mauritius Stock Exchange and one of two
licensed totalisator operators on the island) decreased by 27% to R411 000      
(2010: R560 000).                                                               
PBT increased by 20% to R17,4 million (2010: R14,5 million) and equates to 32%  
(2010:25%) of the Group`s PBT. At constant currencies and despite the loss of   
the RUK rights PBT increased by 31%.                                            
FINANCIAL POSITION                                                              
The Group has total assets of R559,8 million (2010: R534,3 million) including   
cash resources of R98,9 million (2010: R59,1 million) and insignificant gearing.
The Group`s net asset value per share increased by 2% to 499,41 cents per share.
Cash generated from operations of R72 million was utilised to fund an increase  
in working capital of R24,4 million (primarily due to a decrease in trade and   
other payables that included approximately R7 million in betting dividends      
payable to punters after the Vodacom Durban July meeting held on 31 July 2010), 
pay income tax of R16,1 million and dividends of R32,5 million. A further R19,8 
million was utilised for capital expenditure and software development. Net cash 
inflows from financing activities of R0,6 million include a dividend of R1      
million received from the Group`s equity accounted investee.                    
SHARE CAPITAL                                                                   
There was no movement in issued share capital during the period under review.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE                                                         
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended
31 January 2011 have been prepared in accordance with IAS34 - Interim Financial 
Reporting, the requirements of the South African Companies Act and the AC500    
series as issued by the Accounting Profession Board. They do not include all the

conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and   
for the year ended 31 July 2010. The amounts disclosed are not audited, except  
if indicated otherwise.                                                         
The Board is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance         
throughout the Group, endorses the recommendations set out in King III and      
supports the Code of Corporate                                                  
Practices and Conduct set out therein.                                          
BASIS OF PRESENTATION                                                           
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in South  
African Rands rounded to the nearest thousand, unless disclosed otherwise, on   
the historical cost basis, except for certain derivative financial instruments  
that are recognised at fair value.                                              
The accounting policies are those presented in the annual financial statements  
for the year ended 31 July 2010 and have been applied consistently to the       
periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements and by   
all Group entities. During the period under review the Group adopted all IFRS   
and interpretations effective and deemed applicable to the Group. None of these 
standards and interpretations had a material impact on the results.             
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS                                                               
There are no significant subsequent events that have a material impact on the   
financial statements at 31 January 2011.                                        
The Group is engaged in talks for a possible merger with the Western Cape racing
region following agreement between the KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape Boards
to unbundle Gold Circle operations.                                             
In terms of a recent agreement concluded between Phumelela Gold Enterprises and 
Tabcorp Holdings Limited (Australia), the parties have agreed to joint ownership
and control of the                                                              
Group`s Isle of Man totalisator operation with the strategic intent of          
establishing a global tote gateway that facilitates international comingling    
opportunities. The agreement is conditional on receiving all the necessary      
regulatory and racing industry approvals.                                       
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY                                                           
The Group recognises that it has a responsibility to the broader community to   
act in a socially responsible manner, for the benefit of all South Africans.    
Contributions to selected training, sports and community service related        
projects continue. The Group has adopted appropriate BEE and employment equity, 
training and procurement policies.                                              
In March 2011 the Group was once again awarded "A" (Level Four Contributor)     
status by Empowerdex (Economic Empowerment Rating Agency).                      
DIRECTORS                                                                       
With effect from 1 October 2010, Messrs V J Moodley and J A Stuart were         
appointed to the Board as executive directors.                                  
There were no other changes to the composition of the Board during the period   
under review.                                                                   
PROSPECTS                                                                       
Despite difficult trading conditions management is encouraged by a marked       
improvement in the local betting handle trend from January 2011 to date. If the 
current momentum is maintained local operations are positioned for growth in the
second half. International operations continue to trade well despite Rand       
strength and the loss of the RUK rights.                                        
The financial forecast has not been reviewed or reported on by the Group`s      
auditors.                                                                       
Management remains cautiously optimistic of a stronger performance in the second
half of the year.
