EFFECT OF THE REVERSE TAKE-OVER AND A CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AT REVERSE    
TAKE-OVER DATE (16 JANUARY 2006).                                               
On 16 January 2006, Moribo acquired from IFA Kuwait, as an indivisible          
transaction, IFA Kuwait"s entire shareholding and a portion of its loan account 
(R68,657 million) in IFA Zimbali and its entire shareholding in IFA Hotels in   
exchange for the issue of 212 755 413 shares (97,5% of the voting equity) in    
Moribo. The purchase consideration for the IFA Zimbali shares and loan account  
was R85 million and the IFA Hotels shares was R41,204 million which totalled    
R126,204 million. This resulted in the reverse take-over.                       
Set out below are the adjustments that have been made to the balance sheet of   
IFA Hotels & Resorts at the reverse take-over date as a result of the           
implementation of the reverse take-over and a change in accounting policy for   
land and buildings, as set out in note 1 below, and the effect that this would  
have had on the NAV and NTAV per share as shown in the 31 December 2005 balance 
sheet of IFA Hotels & Resorts. The 30 June 2005 comparative has been shown for  
illustrative purposes only as if the reverse take-over and change in accounting 
policy had been implemented at 30 June 2005.

Notes:                                                                          
1. The group changed its accounting policy for land and buildings from the      
   historical cost model to the revaluation model on the reverse take-over      
   date. This change has had the effect of increasing the net asset value of    
the group by R20,4 million.                                                  
2. Moribo had distributed all of the shares in its subsidiaries as a dividend   
   in specie. The company had no active businesses or operations and was simply 
   a cash shell. It is the intention of the board to distribute any excess cash 
from Moribo to shareholders registered as such on the record date (17        
   February 2006). Accordingly, the cost of the reverse take-over was           
   calculated by reference to the proportional interest that the existing       
   Moribo shareholders retained in IFA SA (2,5% of the voting equity). This     
resulted in goodwill on acquisition of R3,155 million.                       
3. The unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement and balance sheet of   
   Moribo for the period ended 30 June 2005 in the circular to shareholders of  
   Moribo issued on 22 December 2005 ("the circular") applied the accounting    
standard for business combinations, IFRS 3 (AC 140) but did not apply        
   reverse acquisition accounting. Reverse acquisition accounting was           
   adopted on the reverse take-over date to reflect what management believes    
   is a more appropriate interpretation and application of IFRS 3. This change  
combined with the change in accounting policy referred to in note 1 above    
   had no material effect on the pro-forma consolidated income statement and    
   balance sheet of Moribo as shown in the circular.                            
BASIS OF PREPARATION                                                            
The condensed consolidated interim financial results for the six months ended   
31 December 2005 have been prepared in compliance with the group"s accounting   
policies which fully comply with International Financial Reporting Standards    
(IFRS), IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting and the Listings Requirements of    
the JSE Limited ("JSE"), and are consistent with those applied for the six      
months ended 30 June 2005 and for the year ended 31 December 2004. All          
accounting standards enacted have been adopted and no restatement of prior      
period results is necessary.                                                    
IFA Hotels & Resorts previously reported in terms of International Accounting   
Standards, therefore IFRS 1 is not applicable. Moribo adopted IFRS with effect  
from 1 January 2005 and there were no effects on the results and balances       
previously reported.                                                            
The interim information has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS and the   
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC")           
interpretations as adopted for use in South Africa at the time of the           
preparation of the information. As these standards and interpretations are      
subject to ongoing review, they may be amended between the date of this report  
and the finalisation of the annual financial statements for the year ending 30  
June 2006.                                                                      
The board acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the condensed  
consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS and the       
requirements of the JSE.                                                        
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS                                          
1. Deferred revenue                                                             
The substantial acts required to complete the development of township property  
are expected to be completed within the next 12 months, therefore the revenue   
that has been deferred in terms of the revenue recognition policy is likely to  
be recognised within the next 12 months.

5. The company changed its year-end from December to June which is the year-end 
for IFA Hotels & Resorts.                                                    
6. The results of IFA Hotels & Resorts for the comparative six months ended 31  
   December 2004 have not been presented as the year-end has changed and the    
   comparable period is the six months to June 2005.                            
7. The consolidated income statement and cash flow statement of IFA Hotels &    
   Resorts for the period ended 31 December 2004 comprises the results of IFA   
   Hotels for the fourteen months then ended and IFA Zimbali for the five       
   months then ended.                                                           
8. As more fully described in the circular, the financial statements of IFA     
   Hotels for the period ended 31 December 2004 were restated to reflect what   
   management believed was a more appropriate interpretation and application of 
   IAS 18 (Revenue) and IAS 37 (Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and          
Contingent Assets). Where there are further substantial acts to complete in  
   the development of a township property, revenue is now deferred and          
   recognised as the acts are performed. Future development costs are no longer 
   recognised until the related services have been performed but were           
previously recognised at the same time as the related revenue. This had the  
   effect of decreasing net profit by R11,7 million for the year ended 31       
   December 2004.                                                               
GROUP PROFILE                                                                   
In terms of the reverse takeover, IFA Zimbali and IFA Hotels were acquired by   
the company from IFA Kuwait in exchange for the issue of 212 755 413 shares in  
the company. These shares were listed on the JSE on 27 February 2006. IFA Kuwait
currently owns a majority interest in the company. The former Moribo operations 
were wound-up as a pre-condition of the reverse take-over and there is no       
operational or management link between the former Moribo and IFA SA.            
Through its two subsidiaries, IFA SA now owns the exclusive Zimbali Lodge on    
KwaZulu-Natal"s north coast, rated by Conde Nast as one of the world"s top      
hotels, and is the partner in a joint venture with Moreland-Zimbali Resorts     
(Pty) Limited, a subsidiary of Moreland Developments (Pty) Limited ("Moreland"),
("the joint venture"), which joint venture is responsible for the development of
the multi-million rand Zimbali Coastal Resort. The resort offers hotels, luxury 
residences, golf courses and leisure facilities.

In terms of a shareholders" resolution passed at the general meeting held on 16 
January 2006, 677 843 shares held by the Moribo Share Incentive Trust were

With effect from 27 February 2006 the company"s shares were consolidated on a   
one-for-10 basis in order to reduce the number of shares in issue after the

The specific issue of shares                                                    
Should any liabilities arise within three years from the effective date of the  
reverse take-over (23 January 2006) that relate to any activities conducted by  
Moribo prior to the effective date which, in aggregate, exceed the Moribo       
group"s cash resources as determined at the effective date, IFA Kuwait will     
settle the balance of any such liabilities which cannot be settled out of the   
cash resources, plus any associated transaction costs. In exchange for          
settlement the company will issue consolidated shares to IFA Kuwait at the      
weighted average traded price of such shares over the 30 days prior to the date 
that the price of issue is agreed by the directors of the company or at such    
price as determined by a JSE-approved independent advisors appointed to         
indicate that the issue price is fair and reasonable, subject to a maximum      
total value in aggregate of all such issues of consolidated shares of R20       
million.

reflect the changed nature of the business and new controlling shareholder of   
the company. All of the previous directors of Moribo have resigned and the      
directors reflected in the corporate information below have been appointed.     
FINANCIAL REVIEW                                                                
The joint venture with Moreland has shown strong growth in both volume and      
value of land sales. Revenue increased to R68,5 million from R38,9 million for  
the six months ended June 2005, exceeding equivalent revenue for the full 2004  
calendar year. Healthy operating profit performance has followed in this        
segment of the business with R28,3 million for the interim period reflecting a  
62% increase from the previous six months and the full 2005 calendar year up    
221% on 2004. The continuing strength of the economy and increasing awareness   
of the Zimbali brand should ensure that value is achieved for land currently in 
inventory.                                                                      
IFA Zimbali has also shown steady improvement in revenues. While the            
second half of 2005 (R17 million) showed a modest increase of 3% over the first 
half (R16,5 million), the full 2005 calendar year was up 16% over 2004.         
Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA")    
has shown a strong 38% improvement over 2004 as a result of securing additional 
income streams in the form of ongoing service fees and rental commission. This  
has flowed through to operating profit which saw the loss reduce to R65 000 for 
the six months to December from R233 000 in the first six months of 2005. This  
is an improvement of 72% off the back of an 85% improvement in the operating    
loss position for the full 2005 calendar year over 2004. The above results have 
been compared to 2004 numbers that have been extrapolated for a full 2004       
calendar year for comparison purposes. The directors believe that targeted      
marketing and additional services will maintain the rising occupancies and      
average revenues per visit, which together with the additional income stream    
will drive this portion of the business to profitability.                       
IFA SA has a strong balance sheet with no borrowings other than shareholder"s   
loans. The board believes this positions the company well to leverage future    
deals.                                                                          
PROSPECTS                                                                       
IFA Kuwait is well-positioned to invest capital and expertise in resort         
development in South Africa. South Africa has emerged as an ideal investment    
opportunity in light of positive economic factors and an untapped property      
asset base. IFA Kuwait"s multi-million rand investment in South African property
development reflects its confidence in the economy given the low interest rate  
regime, strict regulatory controls and economic stability.                      
The continued positive performances of IFA SA"s assets bode well for future     
growth of the company, particularly in light of steadily increasing tourism as  
South Africa"s coastline finds favour with international tourists. The high     
standard of leisure and living offered by Zimbali continues to offer an         
attractive proposition to residents, tourists and serious international         
property investors. The prospects are further supported by the proposed King    
Shaka International Airport to be located between Zimbali and Durban.           
In light of the rapid take-up of properties in the Zimbali Coastal Resort, a    
300ha extension - Zimbali Lakes - is planned for development by the joint       
venture. Zimbali Lakes will include a Gary Player signature golf course. The    
new development will be substantially complete in time for the World Cup 2010   
to benefit from the expected tourism influx.                                    
In addition IFA SA will continue to pursue new integrated resort developments   
in South Africa and across Africa and the Indian Ocean region. With IFA Kuwait  
an established expert in leisure developments, the global IFA Hotels & Resorts  
group including IFA SA may also look to expand its portfolio strategically into 
other property sectors such as retail.                                          
DIVIDEND                                                                        
In view of the need to retain capital for future developments, no dividend has  
been declared and none is recommended at this time.
