RESULTS COMMENTARY
Trading performance
Spur Corporation delivered a resilient performance in the six months ended December 2015 as total restaurant sales increased by 12.6% to R3.5 billion. The strength of
the group's brands and loyal customer base proved crucial as trading conditions became increasingly difficult in the latter stages of the 2015 calendar year.
Restaurant sales in South Africa grew by 13.2% with Panarottis Pizza Pasta producing another strong performance and growing sales by 21.6%. The Hussar Grill, which
targets higher income customers, increased sales by 36.9%. John Dory's grew by 20.2% and Spur Steak Ranches by 6.8%. A smaller format Spur Grill & Go concept was
launched and three outlets were opened in the past six months.
The RocoMamas chain has exceeded expectations since being acquired by the group in March 2015. The trendy brand image and quality product offering of hand-made
"smash-style" burgers, ribs and wings have resonated with customers and franchisees alike. In the past six months, 23 restaurants have been opened, including a
company-owned outlet in Cape Town and the first international outlet in Namibia, bringing the restaurant base to 32.
The Captain DoRegos business has stabilised following the post-acquisition consolidation of the brand, and sales growth of 0.6% reflects the tough trading conditions
in the lower income market.
International restaurant sales increased by 8.3% in rand terms and by 3.9% calculated at a constant exchange rate. Six restaurants were opened across the Africa and
Mauritius region, with additional franchised Spur Steak Ranches in Zambia and Kenya, a further Panarottis in Mauritius, the first Captain DoRegos in Botswana, the
first international outlet for The Hussar Grill in Zambia and the first international outlet for RocoMamas in Namibia.
The group has continued to expand its presence across all brands despite the slowing economy in South Africa. The worldwide restaurant base was increased to 572
following the above international restaurant openings and the opening of 12 Spur, six Panarottis, three John Dory's, five Captain DoRegos, three The Hussar Grill and
22 RocoMamas outlets locally during the past six months.

Financial performance
Revenue from the South African operations increased by 9.8% while international revenue declined by 38.6%. The decline in international revenue is mainly due to the
closure of two retail (company-owned) restaurants in the United Kingdom ("UK") during the period and one during the previous financial year, as well as the disposal of
the remaining three retail outlets in Australia in the previous financial year. Group revenue for the period was 5.4% lower at R386.6 million.
Franchise revenue in Spur increased by 6.0%, Panarottis 23.2%, John Dory's 14.8% and The Hussar Grill 33.8%. Captain DoRegos revenue declined by 17.3%. Revenue from
RocoMamas for the six month period totalled R7.9 million.
Local retail revenue increased by 29.6%, benefitting from the opening of the company-owned The Hussar Grill in Morningside and the RocoMamas in Green Point during
the period.
The manufacturing and distribution division grew revenue by 3.4%. Profit increased by 1.8%, impacted by the weakening exchange rate on US dollar-based imports used in
the sauce manufacturing facility as well as higher transport costs. Management is committed to remaining price competitive in the current economic climate and the full
extent of higher imported food prices is therefore not being passed on to franchisees.
The group continued to rationalise its operations in the UK, closing the company-owned restaurants in Lakeside and Aberdeen during the period, in addition to the
closure of the Wandsworth restaurant in the second half of the 2015 financial year. The sale of leases from the two closures in the past six months resulted in a gain
of R16.3 million for the period. Together with the associated asset write-offs and the realisation of previously unrealised foreign exchange differences relating to
the two outlets, a net gain of R6.1 million was recognised for the period. Management continues to evaluate options to dispose of underperforming operations in the UK.
Trading in most African markets remained buoyant, although the group faces the perennial challenges of operating with a US dollar-denominated cost base (while revenue
is generated in local currencies), as well as ongoing distribution and logistics hurdles.
The group's earnings have benefited from the accounting in the prior period for the broad-based black economic empowerment equity transaction with Grand Parade
Investments Ltd on 30 October 2014 ("the GPI transaction"). The transaction resulted in the issue of 10.848 million new ordinary shares and a share-based payment
expense of R32.96 million for the period ended 31 December 2014.
Profit before tax increased by 45.4% to R134.0 million. This includes the impact of the GPI transaction, the impact of the two UK restaurant closures, a net charge of
R15.9 million (2014: R11.8 million) related to the long-term share-linked employee retention scheme, foreign exchange gains and losses and other one-off and
exceptional items in the current and previous comparable periods.
Comparable profit before income tax, excluding exceptional and one-off items (including those listed above) increased by 5.8%.
Headline earnings increased by 79.6% to R97.9 million with headline earnings per share (HEPS) 66.7% higher at 101.96 cents. This is in line with the group's trading
statement released on SENS on 16 February 2016.
Comparable HEPS, excluding those items above, as well as the GPI transaction in its entirety, increased by 1.4%.
The interim dividend was increased by 8.1% to 67 cents per share.
Prospects
Against the backdrop of slowing economic growth, negative consumer sentiment and socio-political instability, consumer spending will come under further pressure in the
months ahead as South Africans face higher inflation and debt servicing costs.
In this environment, the group will remain competitive through aggressive, value-focused marketing campaigns to attract cash-strapped consumers.
The group plans to open 31 restaurants across its brands in South Africa in the remainder of the financial year ending June 2016, including 17 RocoMamas restaurants.
Six new franchised outlets will be opened internationally including additional restaurants in Kenya, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Australia, and a first outlet in Ethiopia.

tax levied in terms of the Income Tax Act (Act No. 58 of 1962 amended) ("dividend withholding tax") of 15%.

income tax reference number is 9695015033. The company has 108 480 926 shares in issue at the date of declaration.

NOTES
1. Basis of preparation - The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2015 have been prepared in
accordance with the JSE Ltd Listings Requirements for provisional reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa (No. 71 of 2008). The Listings
Requirements require provisional reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued
by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting
policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation of these results are in accordance with IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the preparation of
the group's annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015.
2. Closure of the Silver Lake Spur (England) - On 15 July 2015, the group sold the lease of Larkspur Two Ltd, a wholly-owned UK subsidiary operating the Silver
Lake Spur in Lakeside, for GBP412 500 (the equivalent of R7.900 million at the transaction date) in cash. As part of the agreement, the group relinquished ownership of
the property, plant and equipment at the site which amounted to R4.425 million at the transaction date. A deferred tax asset previously recognised in respect of
unclaimed capital allowances on the assets disposed of, amounting to R1.512 million, was charged to income tax expense. Goodwill amounting to R0.444 million was
written off. In addition, foreign currency translation gains of R1.912 million previously recognised in other comprehensive income (FCTR) were reclassified to profit
before income tax on abandonment of the entity. The aggregate impact of the above is a net gain included in profit before income tax of R4.943 million, and a net gain
included in net profit of R3.431 million.
For the period, the outlet contributed revenue of R0.746 million (2014: R11.964 million; year ended 30 June 2015: R21.893 million) and a loss before income tax (before
the above items) of R0.858 million (2014: R0.785 million; year ended 30 June 2015: R1.910 million).
3. Closure of the Apache Spur (England) - On 22 September 2015, the group renounced the lease of Larkspur Three Ltd, an 80% held UK subsidiary operating the
Apache Spur in Aberdeen, in favour of the landlord for GBP423 600 (the equivalent of R8.391 million at the transaction date) in cash. As part of the agreement, the
group relinquished ownership of the property, plant and equipment at the site which amounted to R6.502 million at the transaction date. A deferred tax asset previously
recognised in respect of unclaimed capital allowances on the assets disposed of, amounting to R0.880 million, was charged to income tax expense. Foreign currency
translation gains of R2.398 million previously recognised in other comprehensive income (FCTR) were reclassified to profit before income tax on abandonment of the
entity. The aggregate impact of the above is a net gain included in profit before income tax of R4.287 million, a net gain included in net profit of R3.407 million and
a net gain attributable to ordinary shareholders of R3.205 million.
For the period, the outlet contributed revenue of R3.665 million (2014: R10.931 million; year ended 30 June 2015: R19.739 million) and a loss before income tax (before
the above items) of R2.317 million (2014: R0.107 million; year ended 30 June 2015: R1.536 million).
4. Changes in local retail operations - In September 2015, the group commenced trading a newly established The Hussar Grill in Morningside (Gauteng). Initial
trading and startup losses for the period amount to R0.823 million, and capital expenditure amounted to R2.767 million.
With effect from 15 November 2015, Opilor (Pty) Ltd ("Opilor"), a subsidiary of the group (previously wholly-owned), acquired the lease and assets of an existing
restaurant site in Mouille Point Cape Town for R5.400 million and R0.101 million respectively. The subsidiary in question issued shares in that entity of the
equivalent value to the seller in settlement of the purchase price of the transaction, such that the group's ownership interest in the entity reduced from 100% to 68%.
The difference in the value of net assets attributed to non-controlling interest and the value of the shares issued to the non-controlling interest amounted to
R0.103 million which was charged directly to equity (retained earnings). The carrying value of the lease acquired is being amortised on a straight-line basis over the
remaining lease term (of 118 months as at the transaction date).
Prior to the transaction above, Opilor owned The Hussar Grill in Green Point Cape Town. Following the transaction, The Hussar Grill in Green Point was relocated to the
newly acquired site in Mouille Point and consequently did not trade for the month of November 2015. In addition to the lost profit for this period, the company also
incurred costs and losses of R0.411 million relating to the relocation, and capital expenditure of R2.298 million. The entity in question then established a new
RocoMamas outlet at the Green Point site which commenced trading in December 2015. Initial trading and startup losses for the period amounted to R0.819 million, and
capital expenditure amounted to R3.346 million.
5. B-BBEE deal with GPI (prior year) - As detailed in the circular to shareholders of 4 September 2014, and approved by shareholders at a general meeting on
3 October 2014, during the prior year, the company concluded various agreements to issue 10 848 093 new ordinary shares indirectly to Grand Parade
Investments Ltd ("GPI"), a strategic black empowerment partner, and separately donate 500 000 of the company's shares (100 000 shares per annum over five years), held
as treasury shares, to the Spur Foundation, a benevolent foundation that is a consolidated structured entity. Both transactions were executed on 30 October 2014. In
terms of the agreements, GPI is restricted from trading the shares in question without the express permission of the company for a period of five years from the
effective date of the transaction and is furthermore required to maintain its B-BBEE credentials for the same period.
The shares were issued at a price of R27.16 per share, resulting in the aggregate proceeds from the issue of shares amounting to R294.657 million. This equated to an
effective discount of R32.957 million which was recognised, in the prior year, as a share-based payment expense in accordance with IFRS 2 - Share-based Payment and
included in profit before income tax for that period, with a corresponding credit to equity (retained earnings).
The group partially funded GPI's share acquisition through a subscription of cumulative compulsorily redeemable five-year preference shares in an unconsolidated
structured entity with a combined subscription value of R72.328 million (representing 24.5% of the total funding requirement for the transaction). The preference
shares accrue dividends at a rate of 90% of the prevailing prime overdraft rate of interest and are subordinated in favour of the external funding provider.
The transaction resulted in a net cash inflow of R222.328 million for the group during the prior year. Of the total transaction costs of R1.577 million: R0.285 million
related directly to the subscription of the preference shares referred to above and are included in the carrying value of the preference shares; R0.991 million related
directly to the issue of the company's ordinary shares and was been charged directly against equity (retained earnings); and the balance of R0.301 million was included
in profit before income tax for the prior year.
6. Prior year acquisition of RocoMamas - During the prior year, and with effect from 1 March 2015, the group acquired a 51% interest in RocoMamas Franchise Co
(Pty) Ltd ("RocoMamas"), an entity owning the trademarks and related intellectual property of the RocoMamas brand. RocoMamas offers affordable, gourmet, hand-made
"smash-style" burgers, ribs and wings in the casual dining market within a nostalgic American rock ambience, giving the group exposure to a market that its existing
brands did not cater for directly. The company had five franchised outlets based in Gauteng at the date of acquisition.
The fair value of the net assets acquired amounted to R6.398 million as at the effective date, of which R3.135 million was attributable to non-controlling interest.
The purchase consideration is determined as five times RocoMamas' profit before income tax of the third year following the date of acquisition. Following an initial
payment of R2.0 million on the effective date, annual payments (or refunds as the case may be) are due on the first, second and third anniversaries of the acquisition
date, calculated as five times the profit before income tax of the year immediately preceding the anniversary date, less any aggregate payments already made. The total
purchase consideration over the three-year period is estimated at R70.764 million, the present value of which at the acquisition date amounted to R45.702 million,
resulting in goodwill of R42.439 million.
The net cash outflow arising from the acquisition amounted to R1.382 million in the prior year ended 30 June 2015.
A financial liability measured at fair value at the reporting date of R52.141 million (2014: Rnil; 30 June 2015: R47.383 million) has been recognised in respect of the
gross contingent consideration of R68.764 million. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration liability of R4.758 million (2014: Rnil; year ended
30 June 2015: R3.681 million) has been charged to profit before income tax.
7. Prior year acquisition of non-controlling interest in Panarottis Penrith (Australia) and subsequent disposal - During the prior year, and with effect from
1 August 2014, the group acquired the remaining 50% interest in subsidiary Panpen Pty Ltd ("Panpen"), an Australian company in which the group had an existing 50%
interest and which operates the Panarottis outlet in Penrith (Australia). The purchase consideration of AU$200 000 (the equivalent of R1.992 million as at the
effective date) was settled in cash on the effective date in the prior year. As part of the transaction, Panpen was required to settle the outstanding shareholder's
loan with the non-controlling shareholder in the amount of AU$158 342 (the equivalent of R1.576 million as at the effective date) which amount was settled in cash on
the effective date. The net liabilities of Panpen at 1 August 2014 included in the consolidated financial statements of the group amount to R0.217 million, of which
R0.108 million was attributable to non-controlling interests. The purchase consideration was debited directly to retained earnings and the non-controlling interest's
share in the net liabilities of the subsidiary was similarly reallocated within equity to retained earnings.
During the prior year, and with effect from 31 March 2015, the group disposed of its 100% interest in Panpen for AU$880 000, the equivalent of R8.188 million at the
date of disposal, on loan account. The carrying value of the net assets disposed of amounted to R4.919 million. The group consequently recognised a profit on the
disposal of R3.269 million during the prior year ended 30 June 2015. In addition, foreign exchange gains of R0.179 million arising on the translation of the foreign
operation previously recognised in other comprehensive income (FCTR), were reclassified to profit before income tax, resulting in a net profit before income tax on
disposal of R3.448 million in the prior year ended 30 June 2015. The group recognised a net cash outflow on the disposal of R0.155 million in the prior
year ended 30 June 2015.
The sale consideration is being settled in 60 equal monthly instalments, which commenced on 1 October 2015, with the receivable being subject to interest at the
Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate plus 1.5%, which is considered by the board to be terms commensurate with similar transactions of this nature.
Revenue for the period ended 31 December 2014 and year ended 30 June 2015 amounted to R12.284 million and R17.875 million respectively and profit before and after
income tax amounted to R0.863 million and R1.052 million (excluding the profit on disposal) respectively, of which R0.095 million is attributable to non-controlling
interests for both periods in question.
8. Prior year disposal of the Panarottis in Blacktown (Australia) - During the prior year, and with effect from 15 November 2014, the group disposed of its
92.67% interest in Panawest Pty Ltd, the Australian subsidiary operating the Panarottis outlet in Blacktown, for AU$1. The carrying value of the net liabilities
disposed of amounted to R1.997 million at the disposal date, of which R0.146 million was attributable to non-controlling interest. The disposal thus realised a
profit before income tax of R1.851 million in the prior period ended 31 December 2014 and year ended 30 June 2015. In addition, foreign exchange losses of
R0.345 million arising on the translation of the foreign operation previously recognised in other comprehensive income (FCTR), were reclassified to profit before income
tax, resulting in a net profit before income tax on disposal of R1.506 million for the period ended 31 December 2014 and year ended 30 June 2015. The group recognised
a net cash outflow on the disposal of R0.206 million in the prior period ended 31 December 2014 and year ended 30 June 2015.
As part of the transaction, the former subsidiary is continuing to repay the previous shareholder's loan with the group of AU$400,000 (the equivalent of R3.911 million
on the date of the transaction), in equal instalments over 35 months to October 2017.
Revenue for both the period ended 31 December 2014 and year ended 30 June 2015 amounted to R5.493 million, and loss before and after income tax amounted to
R0.067 million (excluding the profit on disposal), of which, profit of R0.263 million is attributable to non-controlling interests.
9. Prior year disposal of the Silver Spur in Penrith (Australia) - During the prior year, and with effect from 31 March 2015, the group disposed of the business
of the Silver Spur in Penrith as a going concern for AU$320 000, the equivalent of R2.977 million at the date of disposal, on loan account. The carrying value of the
net assets disposed of amounted to R7.522 million at the transaction date. A loss of R4.545 million was consequently realised on the disposal in the year ended
30 June 2015. In addition, foreign exchange losses of R0.129 million arising on the translation of the foreign operation previously recognised in other comprehensive
income (FCTR), were reclassified to profit before income tax, resulting in a net loss before income tax on disposal of R4.674 million. The disposal resulted in a net
cash outflow of R0.292 million in the year ended 30 June 2015.
The sale consideration is being settled in 60 equal monthly instalments, which commenced on 1 October 2015, with the receivable being subject to interest at the
Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate plus 1.5%, which is considered by the board to be terms commensurate with similar transactions of this nature.
Revenue for the period ended 31 December 2014 and year ended 30 June 2015 amounted to R17.443 million and R25.951 million respectively and profit before and after
income tax amounted to R1.166 million and R0.894 million (excluding the profit on disposal) respectively.
10.Prior year impairment of Captain DoRegos intangible asset - The Captain DoRegos brand is a value oriented takeaway chain offering a combination of chicken,
seafood and burgers to consumers operating through 59 franchised outlets locally and three internationally. The cash-generating unit has experienced a sustained period
of profits being below expectations, due to the slowdown in the South African economy in recent years and its impact on the brand's target market. In addition, as the
trademark and related intellectual property assets are indefinite useful life assets, a mandatory impairment test is conducted annually at 30 June each year.
In performing the impairment test at the prior year reporting date of 30 June 2015, the board determined that the recoverable amount of the Captain DoRegos trademarks
and other intangible assets amounted to R25.747 million based on their values-in-use. Consequently, an impairment loss of R13.905 million was included in profit before
income tax for the year ended 30 June 2015. A corresponding deferred tax credit of R2.596 million was recognised in profit for the same period, resulting in a net loss
included in profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year ended 30 June 2015 of R11.309 million.
Management has implemented the necessary cost control measures to maintain and improve the division's operating margin. In addition, management is confident that its
marketing strategy and focus on operating standards should result in its projections being achieved.
11.Prior year impairment of the Cheyenne Spur in the O2 Dome, London (England) - The Cheyenne Spur in the O2 Dome in London commenced trading in 2007. During
the prior year, the increased costs of occupancy, labour and raw material inputs impacted negatively on the profitability of the outlet. Increased competition also kept
revenue growth contained. As a consequence, the outlet incurred a cash flow loss in the prior year, indicating a possible impairment at the prior year reporting date
of 30 June 2015. In performing the impairment test at that date, the board determined that the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit was lower than its
carrying value, based on its value-in-use. Consequently, the carrying value of property, plant and equipment was partially impaired by R1.054 million
as at 30 June 2015.
The entity continues to incur cash flow losses and management continues to monitor the performance of the outlet closely in an effort to contain the losses. While the
board considers no further impairment necessary at this time, the need for further impairments will be reassessed in due course.
12.Prior year closure of the Mohawk Spur in Wandsworth (England) - As a consequence of sustained trading losses incurred by the Mohawk Spur in Wandsworth
(England), during the prior year, the group closed the outlet on 28 February 2015. The outlet contributed revenue of R6.481 million and R8.544 million for the period
ended 31 December 2014 and the year ended 30 June 2015 respectively, and incurred a loss before income tax of R0.714 million and R0.925 million in the respective
periods. As a consequence of ceasing to trade the outlet, R1.317 million of foreign exchange losses arising on the translation of the foreign operation previously
recognised in other comprehensive income (FCTR) were reclassified to profit before income tax during the prior year ended 30 June 2015.
13.Prior year dissolution of Larkspur Five Ltd - Larkspur Five Ltd was a subsidiary in which the group owned a 70.6% equity interest and which previously
operated the Golden Gate Spur in Gateshead (England). The restaurant in question ceased trading in October 2013. On 16 June 2015, the company was dissolved. The group
had previously recognised a liability in respect of a shareholder's loan to the non-controlling shareholder. On dissolution of the company, the liability, amounting to
R5.173 million at 15 June 2015, was released to profit before income tax in the prior year ended 30 June 2015. In addition, foreign exchange losses amounting to
R0.603 million arising from the translation of the foreign operation previously recognised in other comprehensive income (FCTR) were reclassified to profit before
income tax during the prior year. The winding up of the company resulted in a net profit attributable to non-controlling interests of R5.599 million during the prior
year ended 30 June 2015.
14.Long-term share-linked employee retention scheme - In December 2015, the third tranche (December 2014: second tranche) of share appreciation rights granted
in terms of the group's long-term share-linked employee retention scheme was settled in cash. This resulted in a gross cash outflow of R18.445 million (2014 and year
ended 30 June 2015: R24.045 million) to the scheme participants. Simultaneously, the economic hedging instrument utilised by the group matured which resulted in a
gross cash inflow of R11.858 million (2014 and year ended 30 June 2015: R19.725 million). During the period, the share-based payment expense in respect of the scheme
included in profit before income tax amounted to a credit of R0.521 million (2014: R4.366 million charge; year ended 30 June 2015: R19.735 million charge), while a
loss of R16.378 million (2014: R7.469 million loss; year ended 30 June 2015: R14.794 million gain) on the related economic hedging instrument was recognised in profit
before income tax. Further details of the share appreciation rights and related hedges are detailed in notes 23 and 17 respectively on pages 123 and 117 respectively
of the annual integrated report for the year ended 30 June 2015. Also refer note 17.
15.Braviz Fine Foods - In March 2014, the group acquired a 30% interest in Braviz Fine Foods (Pty) Ltd, a startup operation which established a rib processing
plant in Johannesburg. Formal production commenced in January 2015. As the group is able to exercise significant influence over the entity, but not control, it equity
accounts the investment. The initial purchase consideration amounted to R0.4 million (comprising ordinary shares of R300 and initial transaction costs of R0.4 million).
The group simultaneously advanced a loan in the amount of R36.250 million to the entity. The loan bears interest at the prevailing prime overdraft rate of interest and
has no formal repayment terms (although any repayment of shareholder loans is to be made on a pro rata basis between the respective shareholders) and is consequently
considered part of the net investment in the equity-accounted investee.
The group's share of equity-accounted losses after income tax for the period amounts to R2.512 million (2014: R0.354 million; year ended 30 June 2015: R1.633 million),
arising primarily from finance costs incurred by the entity on shareholder and other funding for the respective periods. As the cumulative losses from the investee
exceeded the carrying value of the equity investment in the investee during the prior year, the equity-accounted losses are being adjusted to reduce the carrying value
of the loan receivable from the investee referred to above.
16.Contingent liabilities:
- International tax - As reported in note 45.1 on page 162 of the annual integrated report for the year ended 30 June 2015, the South African Revenue Services ("SARS")
had previously issued assessments to wholly-owned subsidiary, Spur Group (Pty) Ltd ("Spur Group"), for additional income from controlled foreign companies of the group
for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 years of assessment. Following the objection process during the 2014 financial year, reduced assessments were issued amounting in aggregate
to R1.993 million (comprising R1.561 million in tax and R0.432 million in interest) which were settled in cash in that year. The board of the company in question
appealed SARS' decision to partially disallow the objection and alternate dispute resolution ("ADR") proceedings were initiated in November 2014 with SARS. On
8 October 2015, SARS informed the company that it concurred that the 2009 assessment had prescribed, but that the ADR had been unsuccessful for the 2010 and 2011 years
of assessment. A reduced assessment and refund for the 2009 year of assessment of R1.349 million was received on 16 January 2016. The board has forwarded a settlement
offer to SARS in respect of the remaining years of assessment and awaits a response. The board continues to be of the view that it is able to defend its position.
Consequently, a liability has not been raised in respect of the assessments issued.
- Tax on 2004 share incentive scheme - As reported in note 45.2 on page 162 of the annual integrated report for the year ended 30 June 2015, SARS had issued
additional assessments to wholly-owned subsidiary, Spur Group, in respect of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 years of assessment totalling R6.589 million (comprising
R5.098 million in tax and R1.491 million in interest). The additional assessments were issued following the disallowance of a deduction claimed in respect of the 2004 share
incentive scheme. The assessments were settled in cash on 30 January 2015. The board of the company in question objected to the additional assessments on 19 March 2015
but the objections were disallowed by SARS on 11 June 2015. The board appealed the disallowance of the objections on 14 July 2015, requesting that the matter be
referred to ADR proceedings. On 28 July 2015, SARS issued additional assessments regarding the same matter for the 2005 to 2009 years of assessment amounting to
R15.445 million comprising R8.898 million in additional income tax and R6.547 million in interest. The board objected to these assessments on 13 August 2015. On
8 October 2015, SARS advised that it disallowed the objections and the board subsequently appealed the disallowance of the objections on 13 October 2015, requesting that
the matter be referred to ADR. SARS agreed to refer the matter to ADR on 20 November 2015. The date for the ADR is set for 17 March 2016. The board, in consultation
with its tax advisors, remains confident that it will be able to prove that SARS has erred in disallowing the deduction and consequently, no liability has been raised
in respect of the assessments issued to date.
- There have been no further changes to the status of other contingent liabilities referred to in note 45 on page 162 of the annual integrated report for the
year ended 30 June 2015.
17.Fair value of financial instruments:
- The hedge forward purchase derivative financial assets/(liabilities) (disclosed as derivative financial assets/liabilities on the face of the statement of
financial position) utilised by the group to economically hedge the impact of the share appreciation rights granted in terms of its long-term share-linked employee
retention scheme are measured at fair value at each reporting date (refer note 14). The fair values of the contracts are determined by an independent external
professional financial instruments specialist using a Black-Scholes (risk neutral pricing) option pricing model in a manner that is consistent with prior reporting
periods. The financial instruments in question are designated as level 2 financial instruments in terms of the fair value hierarchy specified in IFRS 13 - Fair Value
Measurement, as the inputs into the valuation model are derived from observable inputs for the assets/liabilities in question, but are not quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets/liabilities.
- The liability for the contingent consideration referred to in note 6 (as disclosed on the face of the statement of financial position) was initially
recognised at fair value and is subsequently recognised at fair value at each reporting date. The liability is designated as a level 3 financial instrument in terms
of the fair value hierarchy as inputs into the valuation model are not based on observable market data. The fair value is determined based on the expected aggregate
purchase consideration payments, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate of 27.0% (30 June 2015: 25.27%), being the weighted average cost of
capital. The expected purchase consideration payments were determined by considering various possible scenarios, and the probability of each scenario. The significant
unobservable inputs are the forecast profit before income tax and the risk-adjusted discount rate. The fair value adjustment included in profit before income tax for
the period is a charge of R4.758 million (year ended 30 June 2015: R3.681 million), and relates largely to the adjustment for the time value of money from the initial
acquisition date to the reporting date, as well as the increase in the discount rate applied as the risk-free rate of interest has increased during the period. The
estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability at the reporting date, would change if the forecast profit before income tax or the risk-adjusted
discount rate were to change as follows:
- if the projected profit before income tax increased by 5% or decreased by 5%, the fair value of the liability at the reporting date, as well as the charge to
profit before income tax, would increase by R3.247 million or decrease by R2.214 million respectively; and
- if the discount rate increased by 2% or decreased by 2%, the fair value of the liability at the reporting date, as well as the charge to profit before income
tax, would decrease by R0.283 million or increase by R1.355 million respectively.
18.Related parties - There have been no material changes in the nature or value of the related party transactions reported in note 43 on page 155 of the annual
integrated report for the year ended 30 June 2015.
