All of the above investments and acquisitions were funded with debt resulting in a significant increase in the group's gearing levels. At the same time, the South African economy has deteriorated and business confidence has declined placing pressure on consumer disposable income. As a consequence, we have experienced disappointing revenue growth for a number of years. With the decline in commodity prices, the Chile economy has also come under pressure although the outlook has improved over the past few months. The Panama and Colombia investments are not meeting initial expectations and we are working towards either downscaling or exiting these businesses alternatively reducing the term of the Colombia property lease. For the period to 30 June 2017 our focus has shifted from a growth and investment phase to one of getting "back to basics". This has entailed critically reviewing several aspects of our business model, among others, increasing disciplines across the organisation, improving system utilisation and driving efficiencies. We are carefully analysing capital allocation and managing cash flow, which despite the disappointing performance, has enabled the group to grow free cash flow before expansion activities. A lot more still needs to be done but with the "back to basics" approach, we will not only improve operating performance but most importantly we will be able to improve our guest experience and ultimately grow revenue. Basis for accounting and disclosure Shareholders are reminded that in terms of announcements released by the Company on SENS on 22 August 2016 and 24 February 2017, Sun International has changed its financial year end from 30 June to 31 December, in order to align with its Chilean operations. Accordingly the earnings per share ranges for the six month period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 are compared against the pro forma results for the prior corresponding period from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016. The group pro forma income statement was derived by deducting the unaudited, published results for the six months ended December 2015 from the audited financial results for the year ended June 2016. The next full financial period will be for the 12 months ending 31 December 2017. In the tables throughout this report the columns headed 30 June 2016 (unaudited pro forma), 31 December 2016 (audited income statement and restated balance sheet) and 30 June 2017 (unaudited interim) are for the six month period then ended. Subsequent to the audited 31 December 2016 comparable balance sheet, new information was obtained during the current financial period that was in existence at the merger date of Dreams S.A. As per IFRS 3 (Business Combinations), "If the initial accounting for a business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end of the first reporting period, the business combination is accounted for by using provisional amounts. Adjustments to the provisional amounts, and the recognition of newly identified assets and liabilities, must be made within the measurement period where they reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that were in existence at the acquisition date (IFRS 3.45). The measurement period cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date and no adjustments are permitted after one year except to correct an error in accordance with IAS 8. (IFRS 3.50)" These amounts have been restated due to the finalisation of Dreams' IFRS 3 purchase price allocation (PPA). Property, plant and equipment (R42 million), deferred tax asset (R15 million), other non-current liabilities (R20 million) and other creditors (R140 million) were decreased whereas intangible assets (R28 million) and ordinary shareholders equity (R131 million) were increased. Financial overview The income statement below includes adjusted headline earnings adjustments. Six months ended Unaudited Unaudited pro forma Audited 30 June 30 June 31 December R million 2017 % 2016 2016 Revenue 7 560 19 6 349 7 670 EBITDA 1 894 15 1 647 1 900 Adjusted operating profit 1 147 8 1 064 1 216 Foreign exchange loss - 100 (17) (2) Net interest (483) (26) (382) (476) Profit before tax 664 (0) 665 738 Tax (232) (3) (225) (249) Profit after tax 432 (2) 440 489 Minorities (228) (40) (163) (260) Attributable profit 204 (26) 277 229 Discontinued operations and associates 2 (87) 15 3 Adjusted headline earnings 206 (29) 292 232 For the review period, total group revenue increased by 19% from R6.4 billion to R7.6 billion, with the growth attributable to the inclusion of Sun Dreams (from 1 June 2016), Sun Slots (from 1 April 2016) and Time Square (from 1 April 2017) results. Revenue generated by the South African operations (excluding alternative gaming, International Business, Time Square and Morula), declined by 1.9% on a comparable basis. Sibaya, Sun City, Sun Slots and Table Bay produced encouraging results with solid growth in revenue and EBITDA. In Chile, trading has improved at most of the properties other than Iquique and Monticello. Iquique has been affected by strike action in the mining industry, while Monticello continues to be impacted due to the relocation of the toll road. The Panama and Colombia operations continue to struggle and plans are in place to downscale these properties, dispose of certain assets and exit or reduce the term of the Colombia property lease. Group earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the period under review increased by 15% from R1.6 billion to R1.9 billion. EBITDA generated by the South African operations declined by 9%, on a comparable basis. Interest charges are well up on the prior comparable period due to the inclusion of Sun Dreams for the full period and the opening of Time Square on 1 April 2017. Minorities' share of earnings has increased with the disposal of the 10% interest in SunWest and Worcester in April 2016 and the consolidation of Sun Slots and Sun Dreams for the full period. Adjusted headline earnings of R206 million are 29% below the comparable period with adjusted headline earnings per share down 29% to 198 cents. Headline and adjusted headline earnings adjustments include the following: - Profit on the disposal of R27 million of the group's assets in Botswana, Namibia and Lesotho to Minor International; - Share-based payments expense (in accordance with IFRS 2) of R8 million as a result of Sun International funding a Black Economic Empowerment special purpose vehicle which acquired equity interests in Time Square; - Time Square pre-opening expenses of R40 million (R22 million attributable to the group after tax); - Amortisation of R73 million of Dreams S.A intangibles (R30 million after tax attributable to the group). As indicated in the Profit and Dividend announcement for the financial year ended 30 June 2016, the intangibles recognised on the Dreams S.A. purchase allocation will be amortised with the charge being recognised as a headline earnings adjustment; - Interest charges of R22 million (R12 million attributable to the group after tax) on the debt raised for the Time Square settlements (with Peermont and Goldrush) which was adjusted for up to the opening of Time Square; and - A net reduction in the fair value of the put options of R162 million. Interim dividend Given the difficult trading conditions and the need to reduce the high debt levels, the board has decided not to declare an interim dividend for the six month period ended 30 June 2017.

Segmental review The implementation of strategic initiatives makes the current period difficult to analyse and therefore a segmental review with the full comparable trading of Dreams S.A. and Sun Slots is provided. The review is based on actual historic performance as if the acquisitions had been implemented with effect from 1 January 2016 (i.e. Dreams S.A and Sun Slots have been included for the June 2016 financial period). The segmental review throughout includes all headline and adjusted headline earnings adjustments.
