REVIEWED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED RESULTS AND CASH DIVIDEND DECLARATION for the
year ended 30 June 2010
Operating profit +21.4%
Headline earnings +14.2%
FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Despite continued suppressed trading conditions in the retail market, Spur
Corporation enjoyed a successful year and produced a positive set of trading
results.
Restaurant turnover in our South African Spur Steak Ranch outlets increased by
9.5%, bringing total restaurant turnover to a new high of R2.5 billion. The
Panarottis brand grew restaurant turnover by 7.8% and John Dory`s delivered an
excellent growth of 23.4% over the prior year.
These results were achieved because of the stringent monitoring of standards,
innovative marketing and re-positioning of our menus to factor in an average
menu increase of 7.0% across all local brands. This considered increase was
based on sales mix calculations, food prices, an assessment of competition and
market tolerance. Food prices remained relatively constant during the period,
despite fears that the FIFA 2010 World Cup would prove to be an inflationary
force. Increases in electricity tariffs, rentals and rates remain areas of
operational focus.
Revenue grew by 6.5% from R326.8 million to R348.0 million. Franchise income in
Spur grew by 9.9% to R124.4 million; Panarottis by 6.1% to R10.8 million and
John Dory`s by 30.3% to R8.8 million. International revenue (franchise fee
income and restaurant turnover) declined by 4.4% to R92.5 million, impacted by a
tough international retail market and a strong rand.
Profit before tax increased by 20.0% to R122.9 million. The continuing
recessionary trading environment in the United Kingdom necessitated an
impairment of the assets of Yellowstone Spur in Derby in the East Midlands of
the United Kingdom, a region that was particularly hard hit. The impact of this
impairment on profit is R8.0 million. Excluding one-off or abnormal items such
as foreign exchange fluctuations, foreign restaurant impairments and the share-
based payment expense (relating to the group`s management incentive scheme) in
the current and prior years, comparable operating profit before finance income
grew by 15.5%.
Headline earnings increased by 14.2% to R85.1 million (2009: R74.5 million),
with diluted headline earnings per share up 13.8% to 94.6 cents (2009: 83.1
cents).
A final dividend of 28.0 cents per share has been declared bringing the total
dividend for the year to 60.0 cents per share, an increase of 9.1% on the
previous year.
RESTAURANT EXPANSION
A highlight of the year was the launch of a smaller-format Spur model for rural
areas. A smaller retail area and a simplified menu allows for a substantial
reduction in set-up costs compared to the standard format Spur outlet. The
initial two outlets have delivered rewarding turnovers and profits. The group
intends to roll out this format in the new year.
Locally, the group opened nine new Spurs, three Panarottis and five John Dory`s.
18 Spurs, seven Panarottis and two John Dory`s were refurbished and six Spur
outlets and one John Dory`s relocated to better trading locations.
Internationally, new Spur restaurants were opened in Aberdeen (United Kingdom),
Maseru (Lesotho), Mandurah (Western Australia) and in Dubai (United Arab
Emirates). The first Spur Express outlet was opened in Gaborone (Botswana) and
turnovers are encouraging.
The group`s current restaurant profile consists of:
Franchise brand South Africa International Total
Spur Steak Ranches 245 32 277
Panarottis Pizza Pasta 50 6 56
John Dory`s Fish & Grill 26 - 26
Total 321 38 359
PROSPECTS
Although the economic environment is expected to continue to recover at a slow
pace, management does not anticipate a significant improvement in consumer
spending in the year ahead. We will ensure that our brands continue to offer an
attractive and affordable proposition to our customers, and that franchisee
profitability is managed carefully. We are confident that we will remain
competitive through tailoring our menus, to keep them topical and competitive.
We will strive to maintain our marketing advantage through our creative and
focused regional initiatives and we will continue to reinforce our high
standards through constant training and our experienced operational teams.
We expect to open 14 new Spur Steak Ranches, four Panarottis and three John
Dory`s restaurants in the new financial year. Internationally restaurants are
scheduled to open in Gateshead (United Kingdom), Lusaka (Zambia) and Lilongwe
(Malawi).

The basis for reporting segmental financial information has been changed to
accord with IFRS 8: Operating Segments. Previously, segmental information was
provided by organising the group into three major operating divisions. With the
implementation of IFRS 8, operating segments were identified based on financial
information regularly reviewed by the Spur Corporation Limited Board (identified
as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") of the group for IFRS 8 reporting
purposes) for performance assessments and resource allocations. The group early
adopted the amendment to IFRS 8, which becomes effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2010, which does not require segment assets to
be disclosed if such information is not regularly provided to the CODM.
Accordingly, segment assets have not been disclosed.

NOTES
1. 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. The review report
is available for inspection at the company`s registered office. These financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2010 have been prepared in accordance
with, and containing the information required by, IFRS (including IAS 34:
Interim Financial Reporting) and the AC 500 Standards as issued by the
Accounting Practices Board or its successor, the requirements of the South
African Companies Act of 1973 and the JSE Limited Listings Requirements. The
accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation of
these financial statements are in accordance with IFRS and, except as presented
below, are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the group`s
annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009. The group adopted
the revised IAS 1, IFRS 8, Circular 3/2009 (the revised Headline Earnings per
Share circular) and revised IAS 27: Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements. The presentation of the financial statements (IAS 1) and operating
segment disclosures (IFRS 8) have been changed accordingly, with no adjustment
necessary on the adoption of Circular 3/2009. IAS 27 requires that losses from
subsidiary companies be allocated to non-controlling interest, even if doing so
causes the non-controlling interest to be in a deficit position. IAS 27 was
applied prospectively from 1 July 2009 and resulted in R0.137 million losses
being allocated to non-controlling interest in the current year that would not
have been allocated to non-controlling interest prior to amendment.
2. The first tranche of options/shares granted in terms of the Spur Management
Incentive Scheme ("the Scheme") approved by shareholders in General Meeting on
15 December 2004 (as more fully described in note 19 on page 72 of the Annual
Report for the year ended 30 June 2009) vested with directors and employees on
18 December 2009. The directors, in accordance with the rules of the Scheme,
anticipated the vesting date of the second tranche of options originally
intended to vest in December 2010, to 18 December 2009 and furthermore elected
to settle all the options/shares in cash. Consequently, no shares were issued
outside of the group. The price at which all transactions were concluded was the
ten-day volume-weighted average price of the company`s share from 3
December 2009 to 17 December 2009 (both dates inclusive). Details of directors`
dealings were published on SENS on 21 December 2009. A total of R27.3 million
was paid to participants and is included in distributions paid in the condensed
consolidated statement of cash flows.
3. Shares in issue less shares repurchased by a wholly owned subsidiary company
