June 2008 to accord with the allocation basis applied to such foreign

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE                                           
Spur Corporation has again demonstrated the strength of its brands as the       
group posted a 10.5% growth in revenue to R326.8 million (2008: R295.8          
million) in the most difficult trading conditions experienced in many years.    
The restaurant industry continued to face pressure from reduced consumer        
spending and high food price inflation. While lower disposable income levels    
resulted in reduced frequency of visits to restaurants, the brands`             
value-for-money offering sustained customer loyalty and ensured continuous      
revenue growth during the year under review. This is reflected in the 8.6%      
growth in restaurant turnover in the Spur Steak Ranches brand. Panarottis       
Pizza Pasta turnover grew by 4.4% and John Dory`s Fish & Grill by 18.2%.        
International restaurant turnover for existing business increased by 3.1%,      
with company-owned restaurants (retail outlets) increasing turnover by 11.5%.   
Franchise fee income in Spur increased by 8.7% to R112.1 million, Panarottis    
by 3.8% to R9.9 million and John Dory`s by 18.1% to R6.6 million.               
International franchise fee income increased by 2.4% to R13.4 million.          
Operating profit for the period increased by 14.2% to R97.7 million (2008:      
R85.5 million). Worldwide recessionary trading conditions led to the group      
impairing the assets and goodwill of two of its retail outlets in Australia,    
where the impact of the recession in our industry has been more pronounced.     
The impact on operating profit is R10.0 million. Headline earnings increased    
10.5% to R74.5 million (2008: R67.4 million), with diluted headline earnings    
per share growing 12.3% to 83.12 cents (2008: 73.99 cents).                     
RESTAURANT EXPANSION                                                            
Ten new Spurs and one John Dory`s restaurant were opened in South Africa        
during the year, while 16 Spur, nine Panarottis and three John Dory`s           
restaurants were refurbished or relocated to improved trading locations.        
Internationally, new Spur restaurants were opened in Derby in the United        
Kingdom and Nairobi, Kenya.                                                     
At year end the group had 347 restaurants across its three brands.              
Spur has developed a signature store concept for high profile locations, with   
the first outlet in this format being the revamped restaurant in the V&A        
Waterfront in Cape Town, and new outlets in Bryanston and the Bloemfontein      
Waterfront. A further signature store will be opened at the Cape Town           
International Airport in late 2009. Further enhancements to the                 
Panarottis`decor and design are being added, while the roll-out of sushi        
belts and decor upgrades in John Dory`s is proving successful.                  
A summary of the group`s restaurant base at 30 June 2009 is as follows:         
Franchise brand           South Africa         International           Total    
Spur Steak Ranches                 240                    29             269

John Dory`s Fish & Grill            22                     -              22    
Total                              312                    35             347    
PROSPECTS                                                                       
The group plans to open at least 18 new restaurants in the year ahead. This     
includes 15 franchised restaurants in South Africa, a new Spur retail outlets   
in Aberdeen(Scotland), and two franchised outlets in Perth (Australia) and      
Dubai (United Arab Emirates). Opportunities for new restaurants are being       
evaluated in several locations in Africa and the United Kingdom to further      
expand the group`s footprint.                                                   
Substantial increases in electricity costs and higher wage demands will place   
pressure on franchisee profitability. Strategies aimed at enhancing             
franchisee success and entrenching our brands` positions in the market          
include the ongoing improvement in procurement and distribution efficiencies,   
customer focused menu engineering, enhancing operational standards and          
training, and persuasive marketing.                                             
The recessionary trading conditions are expected to remain a challenge in the   
year ahead. However, management believes the group is well placed to continue   
to withstand the impact of the current economic climate.                        
CASH DIVIDEND                                                                   
In accordance with a general authority given to the directors at the annual     
general meeting held on 5 December 2008, shareholders are advised that the      
board of directors of the company has approved a cash dividend of R27.3         
million, which equates to 28.0 cents per share.                                 
The cash dividend will be paid on Monday, 5 October 2009, to those              
shareholders of the company who are recorded in the company`s register on       
Friday, 2 October 2009 ("the record date").                                     
The last day to trade (cum dividend) in the company`s shares for purposes of    
entitlement to the distribution will be Friday, 25 September 2009. The shares
