ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 31
December 2011 has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the
presentation and disclosure requirements of IAS 34 - Interim Financial
Reporting, the Companies Act no.71 of 2008 and AC 500 standards issued by the
Accounting Practices Board. The accounting policies applied are consistent with
those adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011.
EARNINGS AND DIVIDEND
Revenue for the six months ended 31 December 2011 was 9% ahead of the six months
ended 31 December 2010 ("last year") at R4.9 billion.
EBITDA of R1.3 billion was 3% higher than last year with the EBITDA margin
declining 1.4 percentage points to 26.9%. The lower margin is due to certain
cost increases being ahead of inflation such as property rates, utilities,
employee costs and promotional and marketing costs.
The results include a realised surplus of R24 million from the Sun International
Benefit Fund (which has been recognised in terms of IAS 19 - Employee Costs) as
a consequence of the fund`s closure.
The weakening of the Rand against most currencies as well as the Chilean Peso
against the US Dollar resulted in a foreign exchange profit of R69 million
compared to a loss of R79 million last year.
Net interest paid decreased by 9% to R221 million as a result of lower interest
rates.
Tax of R308 million increased by 32% due to the increased earnings in the
current year. The effective tax rate, excluding non deductible preference share
dividends, STC, CGT and prior year (under)/over-provisions was 30% (34%). The
decrease in the tax rate is due to a R22 million tax credit resulting from the
new management fee arrangement for SunWest and Worcester.
Adjusted headline earnings of R298 million and diluted adjusted headline
earnings per share of 294 cents are 35% and 37% above last year respectively.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange profits and losses, adjusted headline
earnings per share increased by 6% on last year.
The board has declared an interim dividend of 90 cents per share (80 cents per
share).

GAMING
Gaming revenue was 9% ahead of last year at R3.5 billion with slots revenue at
R2.9 billion and tables revenue at R0.6 billion, 9% and 6% ahead of last year
respectively.
GrandWest revenue at R883 million was 6% ahead of last year driven primarily by
improved slots revenues after the introduction of new machines. EBITDA at R367
million was 17% ahead of last year with the EBITDA margin increasing 4.0
percentage points to 41.6% as a result of the new management fee arrangement.
Excluding the revised management fees, the EBITDA margin would have been 0.6
percentage points lower than last year.
Monticello revenue increased 31% to R671 million due to increased penetration of
the market and assisted by strong promotional activity. EBITDA increased 90% to
R127 million as a result of cost containment improving the EBITDA margin 5.8
percentage points to 18.9%. The Santiago gaming market continues to experience
strong growth and while Monticello`s share of the market at 69.7% is 8.6% below
last year, this still is well ahead of its fair share of 55% of gaming
positions.
Carnival City achieved revenue of R506 million, an increase of 4% over last
year. EBITDA at R141 million was one percentage point below last year and the
EBITDA margin declined 1.2 percentage points to 27.9%. The group`s share
(Carnival City and Morula) of the Gauteng market declined 0.4 percentage point
to 19.9%.
Sibaya revenue increased 8% to R486 million while EBITDA grew 10% to R165
million. The EBITDA margin of 34.0% was 0.6 percentage points above last year.
Sibaya`s share of the KwaZulu-Natal market was 0.3 percentage points higher than
last year at 35.5%.
Boardwalk revenue was in line with last year at R226 million. EBITDA declined 6
percentage points to R80 million with an EBITDA margin of 35.4%, 2.4 percentage
points below last year. Boardwalk is currently operating in a challenging
economic environment and with the expansion programme in full swing there has
been some disruption to customers due to the closure of the MVG parking area,
and general building activity.
HOTELS AND RESORTS
In a difficult trading environment, hotels and resorts achieved revenue of R1.3
billion, 7% above last year. Despite weaker demand from the premium business
international markets group occupancy of 65.8% was achieved, 1.1 percentage
points lower than last year, while average room rates increased by 11% to R996
due to better yields across all properties.
Sun City revenue grew 6% to R666 million. Occupancy was 3.3 percentage points
lower at 67.3% while the average room rate was 16% ahead of last year at R1 489.
EBITDA was 7% ahead of last year at R79 million with the EBITDA margin 0.1
percentage points ahead of last year at 11.9%. Good rate yields were achieved
particularly at The Palace.
The Table Bay experienced a difficult six months`, with an achieved occupancy of
41.7% (2.6 percentage points lower than last year) and an 11% decline in the
average room rate to R1 988. The Cape Town market remains highly competitive.
Excluding the impact of the World Cup in July 2010, the hotel would have
maintained its occupancy and room rate.
The Royal Livingstone and Zambezi Sun achieved an aggregate occupancy of 46.1%
(45.3%) at an average room rate of US$206, a 5% increase on last year. EBITDA in
US dollars was 26% ahead of last year due to good containment of variable labour
costs.
Revenue from Botswana was 4% ahead of last year at R86 million and EBITDA was in
line with last year, resulting in a 1.6 percentage point decrease in the EBITDA
margin to 30.2%. The lower margin is as a result of costs increasing ahead of
inflation, notably a 24% increase in energy costs.
The Federal Palace generated revenue of R86 million, 25% above last year with
occupancies at 65.2% (55.2%) and an average room rate of US$251 (US$256). The
increased revenue is due to an improved demand from corporate business and a
better performance from the casino. EBITDA at R6 million was 50% above last
year.
MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
Management fees and related income of R292 million was 4% lower than last year
due to lower development fees and the restructure of the management contracts
for GrandWest and Worcester. EBITDA of R122 million was 30% lower than last year
due to the revised management fees as well as increased employment and
exploration costs.
FINANCIAL POSITION
The group`s borrowings at 31 December 2011 increased by R1.2 billion to R7.1
billion from 30 June 2011 as a result of the funding for the Emfuleni and Wild
Coast developments and new preference share funding for the Real Africa Holdings
Limited transaction.

The refurbishment of the existing show bar, casino, re-cabling of the floor and
the upgrade of the gaming product commenced in January 2012, with completion
scheduled for the end of June 2012.
The additional work required to upgrade the retail component on the complex is
in an advanced planning stage. The work will include the relocation of existing
tenants, introduction of new tenants to the complex to improve the mix and the
guest experience, and the installation of a new Water Fountain Extravaganza.
The planned opening date of all facilities is 14 December 2012 and the total
estimated capital expenditure remains at R1 billion.
Grayston Hotel
The group has secured a long-term lease for the Grayston Hotel in Sandton and
the refurbishment commenced with the site establishment of the Principal
Contractor in January 2012.
The scope of work includes a complete internal refurbishment, improved space
planning, a new facade and swimming pool as well as upgrades to the landscaping.
The total development cost of R250 million is to be funded jointly by the group
and the property owners. The hotel is due to reopen in early 2013 and is
perfectly positioned for both business travellers and overnighters coming in
from abroad.
SUNWEST EXCLUSIVITY
There have been no further developments with regards to GrandWest`s exclusivity
in the Cape Metropole, which expired in December 2010.
RESTRUCTURE OF COMMON INTERESTS WITH GRAND PARADE INVESTMENTS LIMITED (GPI)
As previously advised to shareholders, Sun International and GPI restructured
certain of their common interests. All conditions were fulfilled and the
transaction was implemented on 1 December 2011.
OFFER TO RAH MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS
As at 27 January 2012, being the original closing date of the RAH offer, 97.1%
of the RAH minorities had accepted the offer thereby increasing the group`s
interest in RAH to 99.0%.
As announced on SENS on 20 January 2012 the group has exercised its entitlement
to compulsorily acquire the remaining RAH minority shares in accordance with the
terms of section 124 of the Companies Act. The date of the compulsory
acquisition has been set as Tuesday 13 March 2012.
DIRECTORATE
Mr DC Coutts-Trotter resigned as the Chief Executive on 8 November 2011 and the
acting Chief Executive, Mr G Collins, was appointed as an executive director to
the board on 22 November 2011.
OUTLOOK
Revenues are expected to improve in both Gaming as well as Hotels and Resorts,
albeit it is anticipated that the trading environment will remain challenging in
the next six months. Monticello will in particular continue to increase its
contribution to the group`s results.
An improved trading result in the second half, offset by increased financing
costs, is likely to result in adjusted headline earnings per share for the full
year (excluding foreign exchange earnings) being below that achieved in the
first half.
The outlook has not been reviewed or reported on by the company`s auditors.
