INTRODUCTION                                                                    
The merger of Tsogo Sun Holdings (Pty) Ltd ("TSH") and Gold Reef Resorts Ltd    
("Gold Reef") and the effective reverse listing of the Tsogo group via the      
acquisition by Gold Reef of the entire issued share capital of TSH through the  
issue of new shares ("the consideration shares") to Tsogo Investment Holding    
Company (Pty) Ltd ("TIH") and SABSA Holdings (Pty) Ltd ("SABSA") was concluded  
on 24 February 2011.                                                            
In terms of IFRS 3 - Business Combinations (Revised), the transaction is a      
reverse acquisition as the shareholders of TSH became the majority shareholders 
of Gold Reef. Accordingly, TSH is treated as the acquirer for accounting        
purposes, whilst Gold Reef is the legal acquirer and remains the listed entity. 
Shareholder approval was obtained to rename Gold Reef to Tsogo Sun Holdings Ltd 
("Tsogo Sun") at the Annual General Meeting held on 15 June 2011. The effective 
date of the name change occurred on 5 August 2011, and has been registered by   
the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission.                             
The condensed consolidated income statement and cash flow statement for the year
ended 31 March 2012 represent the consolidated results of the merged group. The 
comparative information for the prior period represents the consolidated results
of the group for the year ended 31 March 2011 with Gold Reef included from 24   
February 2011.                                                                  
COMMENTARY                                                                      
The overall performance for the year was satisfactory, with a noticeable        
increase in activity levels in the second six months. Both casino win and hotel 
occupancy showed accelerated year on year growth and allowed the group to       
achieve margin expansion for the first time since 2008. During the year under   
review, the group has focused on integrating the Gold Reef businesses. This     
process has largely been completed, culminating in the rebranding and launch of 
the group`s new look identity in April 2012.                                    
In addition, the group has continued to allocate capital in terms of its growth 
strategy and accordingly concluded the acquisitions of:                         
- an additional 16.5% effective interest in the Suncoast Casino for R510        
million, bringing the Tsogo group`s total ownership of that operation to 90%;   
- an additional 52.6% of Hotel Formula 1 (Pty) Ltd and related property         
companies for a cash consideration of R300 million, bringing the group`s        
effective shareholding to 100%;                                                 
- the hotel and office building in Rosebank for R85 million (previously traded  
as "the Grace") which is scheduled to be re-launched as "54 on Bath" on 1 July  
2012; and                                                                       
- the Garden Court Milpark for R95 million (previously leased by the group).    
In addition to these acquisitions, the redevelopment of the Hemingways casino in
East London continued in terms of the R400 million relicensing which was        
successfully completed during the prior year, and over R400 million was spent on
maintenance capex group-wide to ensure our assets remain best in class.         
Total income of R9,0 billion ended 39% above the prior year, assisted by the    
inclusion of R2,2 billion incremental income from Gold Reef, and satisfactory   
organic growth offset by the non-recurrence of 2010 FIFA World Cup ("World Cup")
related income. Like-for-like growth in income (including Gold Reef ) is 5%.    
Earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation, amortisation, property      
rentals, long term incentives and exceptional items ("EBITDAR") at R3,5 billion 
reflected a 41% increase on the prior year, including additional EBITDAR from   
Gold Reef and good organic growth in the current year. Like-for-like EBITDAR    
(including Gold Reef) is 7% up on the prior period, again impacted by the non-  
recurrence of World Cup related earnings in hotels. The overall group EBITDAR   
margin of 38.8% is 0,6pp above the prior year.                                  
Gaming experienced revenue growth throughout the financial year with accelerated
revenue growth across many of the group`s casinos during the second six months. 
Hotels, which benefited from the World Cup in June and July 2010, reflected     
revenues in line with the comparative period for the full year but has shown    
stronger revenue growth, driven by increased occupancies, during the second half
of the year.                                                                    
As previously reported, the underlying operations of the group remain highly    
geared towards the South African consumer (in gaming) and the corporate market  
(in hotels) with both sectors experiencing difficult economic conditions and    
increased administered costs. The group is poised for growth if these sectors of
the South African economy continue to improve.                                  
Regulatory risks remain a threat to the group as evidenced by the announcement  
in the National Budget of a proposed additional tax of 1% of gaming revenue with
effect from 1 April 2013, albeit a better alternative to the previously proposed
withholding tax on winnings. The risk remains of additional changes to tax rates
and an increased cost burden of compliance with various regulations.            
The group continues to engage with the various regulatory bodies and other      
Government departments on a constructive basis to ensure that proposed changes  
are warranted and capable of being implemented without having a negative impact 
on both current and new investment in the industry, and consequently on         
employment levels.                                                              
Gauteng recorded provincial growth in gaming win of 5.5% for the year over the  
prior period. Montecasino and Gold Reef City casinos recorded gaming win growth 
of 8.4% and 11.3% respectively for the year, while Silverstar casino recorded a 
decline of 1.1% for the same period. The results of Montecasino and Gold Reef   
City casinos are particularly satisfying as these units experienced good        
footfall during the prior year World Cup. Good cost control resulted in improved
EBITDAR margins being recorded at all three units.                              
KwaZulu-Natal provincial gaming win grew by 7.8% for the year with the Suncoast 
Casino and Entertainment World reflecting growth of 5.8% in gaming win, and     
Golden Horse casino and Blackrock casino reflecting growth of 11.6% and 13.7%   
respectively, showing strong demand in their relevant catchment areas. Improved 
EBITDAR margins were also recorded at all three units.                          
Mpumalanga reported growth in provincial gaming win of 9.3% for the year. The   
Ridge casino in Emalahleni and the Emnotweni casino in Nelspruit reported growth
in gaming win of 7.5% and 8.8% respectively for the year. EBITDAR margin        
improvement was achieved at Emnotweni, with the Ridge experiencing a dilution in
margin as a result of improved lower margin hotel trading.                      
The Eastern Cape provincial gaming win grew by 5.3% for the year. However,      
Hemingways reported growth in gaming win of 7.2%, despite the impact of the     
redevelopment related construction activities, and continues to benefit from the
attractions associated with Hemingways Mall which opened in 2009. EBITDAR margin
declined marginally on the prior year.                                          
The Western Cape reported growth in provincial gaming win of 6.7% for the year. 
The Caledon Hotel and Spa, Garden Route casino in Mossel Bay and the Mykonos    
casino in Langebaan reported growth of 7.6%, 5.0% and 2.5% respectively for the 
year despite the poor economic fundamentals, particularly in the leisure-based  
coastal areas outside of the larger Cape Metropole. Improved EBITDAR margins    
were recorded at all three units.                                               
The Goldfields casino in the Free State performed well with growth in gaming win
of 7.9% on the prior year and an improvement in EBITDAR margin.                 
Other gaming operations, consisting of the Sandton Convention Centre, the Stay  
Easy Century City hotel and head office costs, reflected a loss of R150 million,
R77 million adverse to the prior period mainly due to non-repeating World Cup   
related trading at the Sandton Convention Centre, the inclusion of Gold Reef    
central costs and the centralisation of certain service departments.            
The hotel industry in South Africa is still experiencing the dual impact of     
depressed demand and over supply, with overall industry occupancies of 57% for  
the year. The group`s hotels are likewise affected. However, as a result of the 
strong sales and distribution channels and the superior product and service     
quality available within the group, a significant occupancy and rate premium is 
being achieved in the segments in which the group operates. Showing some        
recovery, the group`s system- wide occupancies in South Africa improved to 60.9%
(2011: 58.4%), as rooms sold increased by 5% despite the closure of the Grayston
hotel in December 2011. Average room rates in the South African operations      
declined by 7% to R775, with virtually all the decline attributable to the      
higher achieved rates during the World Cup in the prior year. Overall revenue   
for hotels is flat on the prior year at R1,6 billion. Operating costs were well 
controlled with a 5% increase on the prior year, despite increased regulated    
utility costs and property rates offset by a saving in World Cup specific       
related costs incurred in the prior year. EBITDAR declined 9% to R512 million at
a margin of 31.5%.                                                              
The offshore division of hotels achieved total revenue of R324 million during   
the year, representing a 20% improvement on the prior year, assisted by the     
inclusion of Southern Sun Nairobi as a leased hotel (previously managed) with   
effect from 1 August 2010. EBITDAR (pre-foreign exchange gains)of R88 million   
was achieved. The Rand weakness in the second half of the year positively       
impacted both the translation of USD and Euro earnings streams as well as       
resulting in a R13 million foreign exchange gain on the translation of offshore 
monetary items.                                                                 
Combined South African and offshore hotel trading statistics, reflecting the    
Tsogo Sun group owned hotels and excluding hotels managed on behalf of third    
parties, are as follows:                                                        
                                                        31 March     31 March

Occupancy (%)                                                61.4         58.4  
Average room rate (R)                                         802          855

Rooms available (`000)                                      3 281        3 186  
Rooms sold (`000)                                           2 014        1 860  
Rooms revenue (Rm)                                          1 615        1 591  
All operating cost categories for the year are not comparable to the same period
in the prior year as a result of the consolidation of Gold Reef. The group      
continues to exercise strict cost control and explore avenues for further margin
improvement.                                                                    
Amortisation and depreciation at R623 million is 39% above the prior year mainly
due to R185 million incremental Gold Reef costs.                                
Exceptional gains for the year of R385 million relate mainly to a fair value    
adjustment to the existing Formula 1 equity investment of R179 million and the  
release of the contingent purchase consideration for the 2009 Millennium        
transaction of R248 million offset by investment and loan impairments of R45    
million. Exceptional losses for the prior year of R420 million related mainly to
a fair value adjustment to the Gold Reef equity investment of R299 million, Gold
Reef merger costs of R93 million and costs for the termination of the Southern  
Sun Grayston lease of R21 million.                                              
Net finance costs are 7% up on the prior year notwithstanding the take on of the
additional Gold Reef debt, as the cash generated by the group has reduced steady
state borrowing levels despite the acquisitions during the year.                
The group`s share of associate and joint venture profits at R10 million for the 
year ended 31 March 2012 reflected a R69 million decrease as the investment in  
Gold Reef was equity accounted in the prior year.                               
The effective tax rate for the year at 29.3% is affected by, inter alia, the    
Secondary Tax on Companies ("STC") impact of R67 million on the final dividend  
for the year ended 31 March 2011, declared on 19 May 2011, offset by the non-   
taxable exceptional credits to the income statement as mentioned above.         
The comparative effective tax rate of 40.6% is due to, inter alia, the large    
non-                                                                            
deductible exceptional debits to the income statement offset by there being no  
STC charge in the prior year. The group`s long-term effective tax rate is       
expected to be higher than the statutory rate as a result of non-deductible     
expenditure such as casino building depreciation, preference share dividends    
relating to preference share capital of subsidiaries of the group, as well as   
STC prior to being replaced by the dividends tax.                               
Group adjusted headline earnings for the year under review at R1.3 billion is   
36% above the prior year. In determining the closing and weighted average number
of shares for the period and the prior comparative period, the group has used   
the consideration shares as the appropriate number of shares for calculating the
earnings per share ("EPS"), headline earnings per share ("HEPS") and adjusted   
headline earnings per share ("adjusted HEPS") for TSH and the actual shares in  
issue post the issue of the consideration shares, excluding treasury shares, for
the combined group. Adjusted HEPS is 12% above the prior year despite the effect
of the World Cup and the variance in STC as described above.                    
Cash generated from operations during the year under review was R3.4 billion, an
increase of 49% on the prior year as a result of the Gold Reef merger. Cash     
flows utilised for investment activities and non-controlling interest           
transactions of R1.4 billion consisted mainly of maintenance expenditure and the
acquisitions and investments described above.                                   
Interest-bearing debt net of cash at 31 March 2012 totalled R4.2 billion, which 
is in line with the 31 March 2011 balance, with R816 million paid in dividends  
to group and non-controlling shareholders in addition to the investment         
activities during the year ended 31 March 2012.                                 
There have been no subsequent events which would impact the financial position  
or results of the group since 31 March 2012 and the date of this report.        
PROSPECTS                                                                       
The accelerated trading performance across the group`s operations in the second 
half of the year is encouraging, although the sustainability thereof is         
uncertain. Nevertheless, the group remains highly cash generative and has       
significant opportunities to invest capital in its growth strategy.             
Plans are at an advanced stage for the redevelopment of the Silverstar casino,  
where the group expects to invest some R320 million in new facilities, including
cinemas, restaurants, concert and entertainment areas and conferencing          
facilities, to better service the West Rand market.                             
The group is also exploring a variety of projects, including the redevelopment  
of the Gold Reef City Theme Park, the expansion of the Suncoast Casino and      
related entertainment facilities, and the opportunity to bid for the relocation 
of one of the smaller casinos in the Western Cape to the Cape Metropole as well 
as a number of potential acquisitions which are in various stages.              
The ability to continue to pursue such investment will depend on the final      
outcome of, and impact from, the variety of proposed regulatory and tax changes 
considered by Government and will require the successful interaction with       
various regulatory bodies including gaming boards, city councils, provincial    
authorities and national departments.                                           
DIVIDEND                                                                        
The board of directors has declared a final gross cash dividend of 40 (forty)   
cents per share in respect of the company`s year-end. The dividend has been     
declared in South African currency and is payable to shareholders recorded in   
the register of the company at close of business on Friday, 8 June 2012. The    
total STC credits utilised as part of this declaration amount to R11.5 million. 
The number of ordinary shares in issue at the date of this declaration is 1 097 
103 626 (excluding treasury shares) and consequently the STC credits utilised   
per share amount to 1.0479 cents per share. The dividend will be subject to a   
local dividend tax rate of 15% which will result in a net dividend to those     
shareholders who are not exempt from paying dividend tax of 34.15719 cents per  
share. The company`s tax reference number is 9250039717.

NOTES TO THE REVIEWED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                      
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION                                                         
The condensed consolidated reviewed annual financial statements for the year    
ended 31 March 2012 have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and   
measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"),   
IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, AC 500 Standards as issued by the          
Accounting Practices Board or its successor and the requirements of the         
Companies Act of South Africa. CFO, RB Huddy CA(SA), supervised the preparation 
of the condensed consolidated annual financial statements. The accounting       
policies are consistent with IFRS as well as those applied in the most recent   
audited annual financial statements as at 31 March 2011. The condensed          
consolidated reviewed annual financial statements should be read in conjunction 
with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011, which    
have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. This report has been reviewed by the
group`s auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. This review has been conducted in 
accordance with International Standards 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. In terms of IAS 19: Employee Benefits, a provision 
relating to long service awards of R106 million (2011: R88 million, 2010: R55   
million) has been recognised in the balance sheet as at 31 March 2012. The      
cumulative impacts for 2011 and 2010 on retained earnings of R62 million and R39
million respectively, non-controlling interests R2 million and R1 million       
respectively, and deferred tax R24 million and R15 million respectively, have   
been restated and the operating profit and tax adjusted accordingly.            
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH MINORITIES                       
Dilution of 15% control in Tsogo Sun Emonti (Pty) Limited                       
A subsidiary of the group, Tsogo Sun Emonti (Pty) Limited, issued additional    
shares to Black Economic Empowerment ("BEE") non-controlling interests with     
effect from 26 September 2011 for nil consideration. The benefit was accounted  
for in accordance with IFRS 2: Share-based Payment and the intangible asset was 
capitalised as the costs are directly attributable to the re-awarding of the    
casino licence. This effectively diluted the group`s interest from 80% to 65%.  
Additional 16.5% control in Tsogo Sun KwaZulu-Natal (Pty) Limited               
The group has, with effect from 26 November 2011, acquired an additional 27.5%  
interest in a subsidiary, Ripple Effect 31 (Pty) Limited for R510 million, which
gives the group 100% interest in Ripple Effect and an additional acquired       
effective 16.5% interest in Tsogo Sun KwaZulu-Natal (Pty) Limited, also a       
subsidiary of the group. This acquisition gives the group an effective 90%      
interest in the Suncoast Casino.                                                
Hotel Formula 1 (Pty) Limited acquisition                                       
With effect from 29 March 2012, the group acquired an additional 52.6% effective
interest in Hotel Formula 1 (Pty) Limited resulting in an effective ownership of
100% for a cash consideration of R300 million. This consideration comprised R287
million net asset value (provisional fair value) and goodwill arising of R251   
million. The goodwill is attributable to the acquired customer base and expected
future growth of the business. Due to the date of the acquisition being 29 March
2012 there were no contributed revenues nor profit to the group during the year 
under review, other than the share of profits as an associate until the date of 
acquisition. Had the acquisition occurred on 1 April 2011, group revenue would  
have increased by R112 million and profit after tax would have increased by R11 
million excluding the funding impact of the acquisition.                        
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION                                                          
In terms of IFRS 8: Operating Segments the chief operating decision-maker has   
been identified as the group`s board of directors. The board reviews the group`s
internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources.       
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed  
by the group`s board of directors at the board meetings which are used to make  
strategic decisions.                                                            
The board considers the business from both a geographical basis and business    
type, being hotels and gaming. All gaming segments and the South African hotels 
division conduct business in South Africa, with the offshore hotels division    
having operations in other African countries, the Middle East and the           
Seychelles. Other gaming operations consist mainly of the Sandton Convention    
Centre. The corporate segment includes the treasury and management function of  
the group, together with the group`s captive insurance operations.              
Although the offshore hotels segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds  
of IFRS 8, management has concluded that the segment should be reported         
separately as it has a different risk and reward profile. It is closely         
monitored as it is expected to materially contribute to group revenue in the    
future.                                                                         
The reportable segments derive their revenue and income from hotel and gaming   
operations.                                                                     
The group`s board of directors assesses the performance of the operating        
segments based on a measure of EBITDAR. The measure excludes the effects of     
long-                                                                           
term incentives and the effects of non-recurring expenditure such as rebranding 
and preopening expenses. The measure also excludes all headline adjustments,    
impairments and fair value adjustments on non-current assets and liabilities.   
Interest income and finance costs are not included in the result for each       
operating segment as this is driven by the group treasury function which manages
the cash and debt position of the group.                                        
All revenue and income from hotel and gaming operations shown below is derived  
from external customers. No one customer contributes more than 10% to the       
group`s total revenue.
