MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS INTRODUCTION The period under review was characterized by depressed business performance due to the persistent economic challenges that are besetting the country. The deflationary environment worsened the situation by forcing price reductions. International tourism remained subdued, growing only by 2.5% during the first half of 2015. The Sub-Saharan Africa region was affected by the Ebola Epidemic, the effects of which only started wearing off recently. FINANCIAL REVIEW The Group achieved revenue of US$50.15 million, which was an 8% decline from US$54.55 million achieved in the comparable period. The drop in revenue was mainly as a result of a 7% reduction in the average daily rate (ADR) from US$96 achieved last year to US$90. The ADR was partly affected by the introduction of VAT on foreign revenue. Occupancy increased by 1 percentage point to 48% from 47%. The drop in revenue per available room (RevPAR) was thus capped at 4%, from US$45 to US43. The EBITDA achieved for the period under review was US$5.47 million which was a 33% drop from US$8.19 million achieved last year. EBITDA was impacted by the 8% drop in revenues, despite a 2.5% reduction in operating costs. Finance costs for the period under review decreased by 32% from US$3.09 million to US$2.11 million following repayment of borrowings amounting to US$9.08 million during the period under review. Loss from continuing operations was US$1.39 million from a prior year loss of US$0.64 million. The current year loss was driven by the US$4.23 million that was incurred by the Company on other expenses which include retrenchments and separation costs of US$2.02 million. Loss from discontinued operations (Amber Accra Hotel, Ghana) was US$1.97 million from a loss position of US$1.64 million (see note 10 of the condensed financial statements). The Group posted a total loss for the year of US$3.36 million from both continuing operations and discontinued operations. This was a 47% drop from last year’s loss of US$2.29 million. SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL MATTERS Change of year end The Group changed its financial year-end from 30 September to 31 December. The change was motivated by the need to align the Company’s reporting dates to those of Brainworks Capital Management (Private) Limited, the majority shareholder. As a result of the said change, the financial statements which shall be for 15 months, running from 1 October 2014 to 31 December 2015 will be published before 31 March 2016.

CHANGE OF BUSINESS MODEL The Group changed from its traditional Hotel Management model to a Hotel Investments model which we believe is more optimal to the needs of the Group going forward. Under the hotel investment model, the Group exited its Ghana and Nigerian foreign operations and established five strategic business divisions which are: 1. Hotels Under Management The Legacy Group of Hotels was appointed to manage five hotels with effect from 1 October 2015. The hotels are the Elephant Hills Resort and Conference Centre, Troutbeck Resort, Hwange Safari Lodge, The Kingdom at Victoria Falls and Crowne Plaza Monomotapa Hotel. The Crowne Plaza Monomotapa Hotel will be rebranded effective 1 January 2016. 2. Franchised Hotels (Holiday Inn) These hotels are run under the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) brand and are Holiday Inn Harare, Holiday Inn Bulawayo and African Sun Amber Hotel Mutare soon to be branded back to Holiday Inn Mutare. 3. The Victoria Falls Hotel Partnership The Victoria Falls Hotel is an affiliate of the Leading Hotels of the World, which we are currently operating with our partner, Meikles Limited. This hotel has not been affected by the change in business model and the plan is to continue with the partnership with Meikles Limited. 4. Owner Managed Hotels The remaining owner managed hotels are Caribbea Bay Resort, Great Zimbabwe Hotel and Beitbridge Express Hotel. The board is in discussions with potential strategic partners to assess the strategic fit of these hotels, with a long-term plan of reassigning them either as hotels under management or franchised hotels. 5. Other Complimentary Operations Sun Casinos and Sun Vacations (Timeshares) make up this strategic business unit. OUTLOOK Following the change of business model, discontinuation of the loss making operations in Ghana and Nigeria as well as the recent retrenchments, the Group is poised to move from a loss making to a profit position. We expect our foreign arrivals, particularly for the Victoria Falls properties, to rebound, not only due to the positive change in our business model but also due to the curbing of the Ebola epidemic and the expansion of the Victoria Falls airport. The domestic market is however expected to remain subdued; with low demand and pressure on rates.

NOTES TO THE ABRIDGED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1.

16,865,342 2,588,535 5,592,171 25,046,048

Discontinued operations On 31 August 2015, the Group mutually terminated the lease agreement for its Ghana hotel (Amber Accra Hotel) due to continued losses. The losses were due to a high fixed costs structure, and a slow revenue upturn. Loss for the year from the Ghana operations was US$1.97 million, from a loss position of US$1.64 million. (Details of the discontinued operations are shown in note 10 of the condensed financial statements).

GENERAL INFORMATION African Sun Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, “the Group”) leases and manages the hotel properties. The Group now operates in Zimbabwe and South Africa only following the exit from Ghana and Nigeria during the period under review. The Group leases twelve hotels in Zimbabwe and operates a regional sales office in South African which focuses on international and regional sales. The Company is a public listed company, which is incorporated and domiciled in Zimbabwe and listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange. The address of its registered office is African Sun House, Number 6, Seagrave Road, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe. These condensed financial statements were approved for issue by the directors on 19 November 2015. BASIS OF PREPARATION These condensed interim financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2015 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim financial reporting’. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in the annual financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2014 which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The condensed interim financial statements are expressed in United States of America dollars (“US$”). The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost conventions as modified by the revaluation of biological assets. CHANGE OF FINANCIAL YEAR END The Group changed its financial year end from 30 September to 31 December. The change was to align to the reporting dates with Brainworks Capital Management (Private) Limited, the majority shareholder. These interim financial statements cover one year period ended 30 September 2015. Audited financial statements for the 15 months ending 31 December 2015 will be published before 31 March 2016. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, unless otherwise stated. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accounted using the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual profit or loss. There are no new IFRSs or International Financial Reporting Interpretations (“IFRICs”) that are effective for the first time in this interim period that would be expected to have a material effect on the Group. Management continuously assess the impact of the new standards on the financial statements. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

The Group changed its measurement policy after initial recognition of property and equipment from the revaluation model to the cost model. The change is to align with Brainworks Capital Management (Private) Limited who are the major shareholder of the Company. The change in the accounting policy has been applied retrospectively. The comparative figures have not changed because there was no revaluation surplus recorded since 2009 upon dollarisation, hence the carrying amounts under the previously used revaluation model are the same as under the newly adopted cost model. An impairment assessment is currently being carried by the Group’s consultants, and if any assets are impaired, the impairment charge will be posted in the financial statements for the 15 months ending 31 December 2015. 6. ESTIMATES The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2014, with the exception of changes in estimates that are required in determining the liability for income taxes. 7. FINANCIAL RISK The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, currency risk, cashflow, and fair value interest rate risks), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should therefore be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as at 30 September 2014. There have been no significant changes in the risk management department since year end or in any risk management policies. Liquidity risk The Group repaid a significant amount of its short-term and long-term borrowings as was disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2014. As at 30 September 2015, the Group’s total liabilities reduced by 10% from the September 2014 position. The maturity profile for other liabilities remains unchanged to a large extent. 8. GOING CONCERN

During the period under review, the Group repaid US$9.08 million bank borrowings, which resulted in a 52% reduction in bank borrowings from US$17.35 million reported as at 30 September 2014. The repayments were financed through the disposal of the investment in Dawn Properties Limited which raised US$5.83 million and the difference was financed from operating cash flows. The Group’s negative working capital increased during the year as a result of repayment of longterm bank borrowings and reclassification of fixed property from current assets (non-current assets held for sale) back into property and equipment. To improve the working capital position management is at an advanced stage of negotiating a long-term refinancing facility to pay short-term loans. Working capital position will further improve as a result of increase in cash generated from operations and savings on finance costs. To improve cash generation, the following strategies have been implemented: - exiting loss making operations (Amber Accra Ghana Hotel) – through a mutual termination of the lease agreement of the Amber Accra Hotel. The exit was as result of sustained losses which emanated from depressed revenues and a huge fixed costs structure; - signed a management contract with a reputable regional hotel group (Legacy Hospitality Management Services Limited) to manage five hotels; this will improve revenue generation through improved market reach and service offering; and - reduce operating costs through negotiated supplier deals and retrenchments which were concluded in August 2015. Based on the aforementioned, the Directors have assessed the ability of the Group to continue operating as a going concern, and are of the view that the preparation of these financial statements on a going concern basis is appropriate.

During the year the Board resolved to exit its foreign operations in Ghana and Nigeria. There was no financial impact from the exit of Nigeria as the company was in a net liabilities position on the effective date of exit, which was 30 September 2015. The exit from Ghana was effective 31 August 2015. The decision to exit Ghana was premised on the sustained losses of the operations. The losses were driven by low revenues and high fixed costs which were pushed by fixed operating lease costs. Management’s efforts to engage the landlord to revise the operating lease costs were fruitless resulting in a mutual termination of the lease contract and disposal of the operating assets to the landlord on 31 August 2015. Proceeds from the sale of the operating assets were outstanding as at the reporting date.

The 16.54% investment in Dawn Properties Limited disposal was approved in 2014 at a price of US$0.0147 per share. The disposal of the shares was completed during the year and realised net proceeds of US$5,825,248. Gain on the disposal of the investment of USD2,654,161 is included in other income. The freehold property was classified as held for sale in September 2014 with the intention to utilise the proceeds to repay short-term loans.

The freehold property will be used as as collateral to secure borrowings in the future. Fothergill operating assets with a carrying amount US$129,661 previously classified as a disposal group held for sale in 2013 were impaired during the year following notice of termination of the lease agreement from Parks and Wildlife.
