NOTES
1. The recognition of taxes relating to foreign subsidiaries of R16.6 million
results from the recognition of a deferred tax asset in respect of cumulative
tax losses up to 30 June 2006 and future tax deductions in respect of
intangible assets in the company`s international operations. Agreement was
reached with the relevant tax authorities during the current year which has
provided the necessary certainty required to recognise this deferred
tax asset.
2. Shares in issue less shares repurchased by a wholly-owned subsidiary company
and share incentive trust.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
KPMG Inc., the group`s independent auditor, has reviewed the provisional
financial statements contained in this provisional report, and has expressed an
unmodified conclusion on the provisional financial statements. Their review
report is available for inspection at the company`s registered office. These
provisional financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2007 have been
prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), and the disclosure
requirements of IAS 34, and have been consistently applied with those adopted
for the year ended 30 June 2006.
FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Spur Corporation has continued its strong growth trend of recent years to
entrench its position in the competitive family sit-down restaurant market,
with restaurant turnover for the financial year increasing by 19.6%. Turnover
of existing restaurants, which excludes new outlets opened during the reporting
period, grew by 13.5%.
Group revenue increased by 17.9% to R215.4 million. Franchise fee income in
Spur Steak Ranches (local and international) rose by 17.9% to R101.1 million,
Panarottis Pizza Pasta by 19.9% to R11.3 million and John Dory`s Fish & Grill
by 32.2% to R4.1 million. The group`s international operations contributed
10.8% of revenue (2006: 3.7%).
The higher interest rate environment impacted on disposable income levels in
the group`s target market in the second half of the financial year. Despite
high food price inflation, prudent menu engineering and aggressive promotions
ensured that the price impact on customers was minimised.
The strategic decision taken two years ago to outsource the national
distribution of restaurant supplies from the group`s manufacturing facilities
has further enhanced franchisee operating standards and improved efficiencies
for both franchisee and franchisor.
The strong growth in restaurant revenue contributed to a 15.7% increase in
operating profit to R89.6 million (2006: R77.4 million).
As detailed in the group`s trading statement on 17 August 2007, income for the
year benefited from a tax credit of R16.6 million. The tax credit resulted from
the recognition of a deferred tax asset relating to cumulative tax losses and
future tax deductions in respect of intangible assets in the company`s
international operations.
This tax credit boosted headline earnings, which increased by 39.2% to R80.7
million (2006: R58.0 million). Diluted headline earnings per share rose 35.4%
to 88.17 cents (2006: 65.10 cents).
Following the finalisation of the Codes of Good Practice on Black Economic
Empowerment, the group commissioned an independent consultant to review the
operations in relation to the Codes and develop a holistic empowerment
strategy. The recent presentation of the findings highlighted various areas of
the business where progress can be made in a relatively short period of time.
This may not necessarily involve an equity transaction at this time. The board
will now consider the recommendations, after which the strategy will
be refined and implemented.
A number of new restaurants have been earmarked for funding from the facility
secured from the Industrial Development Corporation. These are John Dory`s and
Panarottis, Parow; Spur, Maponya Mall, Soweto; and Spur, Hout Bay.
RESTAURANT EXPANSION
Following the opening of 30 new outlets during the year, Spur Corporation
increased its restaurant base to 333 across its three franchise brands locally
and internationally. These openings comprised 22 Spur Steak Ranches, four
Panarottis and four John Dory`s outlets.
Spur continues to broaden its base in the growing South African economy and has
identified new opportunities in Maponya Mall, Soweto, and recently began
trading successfully in Jabulani Mall, Soweto; Carlton Centre, Johannesburg;
and The Trade Route Mall, Lenasia. Spur is committed to further expanding its
base as opportunities arise.
Internationally the group has continued its measured expansion in Africa,
Australia and the United Kingdom. New Spur restaurants were opened in Gaborone,
Windhoek and Swakopmund, further enhancing the African footprint. In Australia,
Spur opened a restaurant in Erina Fair on the central coast of New South Wales.
Two further company-owned restaurants were opened in London (The O2 Dome,
Greenwich and Lakeside Shopping Centre in West Thurrock) shortly before year
end, which have further augmented growth opportunities in the United Kingdom.
Subsequent to year end, the Arizona Spur was opened in Newry, Northern Ireland.
Panarottis opened new outlets in Blacktown, Australia; and Harare, Zimbabwe.
A further 21 Spur, 13 Panarottis and one John Dory`s restaurant were upgraded
and seven outlets relocated to improved trading areas, which has benefited
revenue growth.
A summary of the group`s restaurant base at 30 June 2007 is as follows:
Franchise brand South Africa International Total
Spur Steak Ranches 226 27 253
Panarottis Pizza Pasta 53 7 60
John Dory`s Fish & Grill 20 - 20
Total 299 34 333
PROSPECTS
Slower consumer spending and rising food prices will be a challenge in the year
ahead. Strategies have been developed to enhance customer loyalty, drive foot
traffic and increase customer spend, while the group will source products
locally and internationally in an attempt to limit the impact of food
inflation. The directors and management are confident that the group will
continue to deliver increased revenue and profitability in the year ahead.
CAPITAL DISTRIBUTION
In accordance with a general authority given to the directors at the annual
general meeting held on 8 December 2006, shareholders are advised that the
board of directors of the company has approved a capital distribution of R25.6

of the company who are recorded in the company`s register on Friday, 5 October

purposes of entitlement to the distribution will be Friday, 28 September 2007.
