CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
The directors of Rainbow Tourism Group Limited (RTG) are pleased to announce the unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2013. 1.

Revenue of $13.2 million for the 2013 half year versus $12.7 million for the same period in 2012, a growth of 4% above prior year (Rooms - 2.8% , F&B - 9.3% ). Costs reduced by $1.6 million. Occupancy : 10 % to 43% from 39% in prior year. Market Share : 17% to 27% in 2013 from 23% in 2012 against a fair share of 25%. RevPar : 13% to $36 from $32 in prior year. EBITDA : 982% to $1,644,000 from $152,000 same period last year. Interest cost : 47% to $851,000 from $1,600,000 same period last year. Gearing : to 57% from 69% in December 2012. Net assets : to$15.85 million from $13.7 million same period last year. to $21.09 million from $23.34 million same period last year. Net debt : Foreign Business : 27% in business mix from 22:78 in 2012 to 28:72 in 2013. 2. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT RTG turns to profitability. This is consistent with the Groups turnaround strategy, despite a constrained trading environment. Domestic business activity was affected by liquidity challenges, rising costs of key inputs and intense competition. As world travel is anticipated to grow by about 4% in 2013, driven by Asian, Pacific and African countries, we expect to continue to benefit from increased inbound travel trade. This global trend, together with the RTG sales restructure and consequent increased global efficiencies and reach, has seen a 27% increase in foreign business into the Groups hotels.

3. FINANCIAL REVIEW Revenue for the Group registered positive growth. The half year ended 30 June 2013 saw revenue increasing by 4% to $13.2 million compared to the corresponding period last year. Occupancies improved by 10%, whilst the average room rate grew from $81 in 2012 to $84. Revenues improved by 4%, with operating costs decreasing by $1.6 million resulting in a pleasing EBITDA margin. EBITDA grew by 982% to $1.644 million (12% margin) from $152,000 (1% margin) attained in the corresponding period last year. The margin growth is a direct result of cost reduction measures embarked on in November 2012. The cost reduction measures have addressed core cost impact items that will see a sustained efficient system going forward. Interest expense reduced by 47% to $851,000 from the same period last year following the retirement of much of the short term loans. Other significant short term loans were restructured to long term which resulted in reduced average cost of borrowing to 11%. The target is to futher reduce cost of borrowing to 7% by December 2013. The Groups continuing operations achieved a profit before tax of $29,049 compared to a loss of $2.2 million recorded in the prior period. The total debt reduced by 14% from $24.5 million at 31 December 2012 to $21.1 million at 30 June 2013. Gearing for the same period reduced from 69% to 57%.

4. REFURBISHMENT PROGRAMME Rainbow Towers Hotel and Conference Centre The works resumed in second quarter of 2013. The project is progressing well with the first 60 rooms that had been taken out for refurbishment now complete and released back into circulation on 31 July 2013. The remainder of the project is expected to be completed by January 2014. Beitbridge Hotel Project The construction of the hotel is now complete. Funding for equipment, furniture and fittings has been secured and the remaining works will be completed in the third quarter. The hotel is set to open for trading on 1 November 2013. The full impact to the Group operations will be felt in 2014. Bulawayo Rainbow Refurbishment Refurbishment has progressed well, with the rooms carpeting, hot water system and lifts having been done. Focus is now on public areas including reception, bar and restaurants. This will be completed by first quarter of 2014.

5. CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENT The Group continues to support the green agenda by sponsoring the Environment Reporter Awards in partnership with Environment Africa. These awards advocate for sustainable environmental reporting by journalists in Zimbabwe and have been in place for the past 15 years. RTG is also an active participant in the Green Fund project established to promote environmental awareness in Victoria Falls. RTG successfully raised funds to send 30 adolescent young women infected with HIV & AIDS for technical skills training, and managed to avail six months supply of anti-retroviral drugs under the ZAPP/UZ SHAZ project partnership. Going forward, RTG will seek to be an agent of empowerment to local communities by making use of its business entities to set up economically viable projects for local communities as a way of adding value to its social entities.

6. DIVIDENDS In view of the growth and futher investments still required in the business, the Directors have resolved that no interim dividend be declared for the half year ended 30 June 2013. 7. DIRECTORATE Dr. J. Kanyekanye stepped down as Chairman on 9 July 2013. He still remains a non-executive director on the board. Mr David Govere was appointed to the Board effective 9 July 2013 to replace Mrs Rosa Dube who resigned from the Board effective 16 June 2013. I welcome Mr Govere to the RTG board and his appointment will be confirmed in the next Annual General Meeting. I wish to sincerely thank Dr. J. Kanyekanye for his board leadership which was instrumental for turning around the fortunes of RTG. I also thank Mrs Rosa Dube for her contribution both as director and chairman of the risk and audit committee. OUTLOOK The improving occupancy trend is set to continue in the second half of the year. Focus will remain on embedding the IM FRESH Service Culture and intensifying Sales and Marketing efforts to grow revenues as well as the RTG Brand. In addition, continued success will come from enhancing the product, implementing further cost reduction measures, generation of free cashflows and prudent working capital management. The Group will seek to capitalize on the visibility and destination marketing opportunity presented by the hosting of the UNTWO General Assembly, a rare showcase for the country, to be held in August 2013 in Victoria Falls. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to express my gratitude to the management team for achieving the half year profit, a major swing from a significant loss position in 2012. Again, this being achieved in the low season for this industry. I thank all stakeholders, business partners, the Board Members and shareholders for their continued support and commitment in driving this Group forward.
