RESULTS COMMENTARY
TRADING PERFORMANCE
Spur Corporation delivered a robust trading performance in the competitive family sit-down restaurant market in the year to June 2016 as total restaurant sales across
its local and international operations increased by 12.9% to R6.97 billion.
South Africa
Restaurant sales in South Africa grew by 13.0% against the backdrop of severe pressure on consumer disposable income as economic conditions deteriorated in the second
half of the financial year.
Management has focused on sustaining franchisee profitability in the face of margin pressure from high food inflation, mainly driven by the widespread drought and the
deterioration of the rand against major currencies, and aggressive discounting by restaurants and quick service dining chains to attract cash-strapped consumers.
Panarottis Pizza Pasta continued its strong growth trend and lifted sales by 18.0% despite the increasing competition from international pizza brands entering South
Africa.
Spur Steak Ranches grew sales by 6.2% supported by its loyal customer base of over 1.9 million Spur Family Card members who account for 41.9% of Spur's restaurant sales.
The Hussar Grill grew sales by 51.8% and John Dory's by 17.7%.
The RocoMamas offering of "Smashburgers", ribs and wings strengthened the group's appeal among urban millennial customers as 33 outlets were opened locally, bringing
the restaurant base to 42.
Thirteen non-performing Captain DoRegos outlets were closed and sales declined by 3.3%, reflecting the tough trading conditions in the lower-income market.
Capitalising on the growing demand for authentic Italian cuisine, as well as the group's knowledge of the pizza and pasta market, an upmarket Italian restaurant brand,
Casa Bella, was launched and two outlets were opened during the year.
A total of 74 new restaurants were opened in South Africa across the Spur (15), Panarottis (7), John Dory's (8), Captain DoRegos (5), The Hussar Grill (4), RocoMamas
(33) and Casa Bella (2) brands.
Franchisees invested over R330 million in the 2016 financial year in opening, relocating and revamping restaurants.
International
International restaurant sales increased by 12.1% in rand terms and by 2.8% calculated at a constant exchange rate.
Following the decision to cease operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland, the group's remaining eight restaurants were closed during the year. This resulted in a
29.0% decrease in store turnover in the UK (or 40.1% on a constant exchange rate basis).
In line with the group's strategy to focus the international business primarily on Africa and Australia, eight restaurants were opened across the Africa and Mauritius
region, and two in Australia.
Additional franchised Spur Steak Ranches were opened in Nigeria, Zambia and two in 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. New Spur and Panarottis restaurants were opened
in Perth, Australia.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Revenue from the South African operations, which accounted for 81.4% of group revenue, increased by 11.7% to R600.0 million. International revenue declined by 38.4% to
R137.4 million due to the closure of the eight company-owned restaurants in the UK during the year 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 3.0% lower at R737.4 million.
Revenue from continuing operations increased 3.4% to R633.1 million, impacted by a reduction in revenue of R49.3 million following the disposal of the group's
interests in retail outlets in Australia in the prior year.
Franchise revenue in Spur increased by 5.8%, Panarottis 17.9%, John Dory's 14.2% and The Hussar Grill by 49.2%. Captain DoRegos revenue declined by 25.4%. The
RocoMamas chain generated revenue of R17.4 million in its first full year in the group since being acquired in March 2015.
Local retail revenue, representing the group's interests in South African restaurants, increased by 56.5%, boosted by the opening of the company-owned The Hussar Grill
in Morningside (Johannesburg) and RocoMamas in Green Point (Cape Town) during the year.
The manufacturing and distribution division grew revenue by 3.9% while profitability was impacted by the weakening exchange rate on foreign currency priced imports
used in the sauce manufacturing facility, as well as higher transport costs. The full extent of higher imported food prices has not been passed on to franchisees to
ensure the brands remain competitive in the current tight consumer environment.
The growth in the group's earnings has benefited from the accounting in the prior year for the broad-based black economic empowerment transaction with Grand Parade
Investments Ltd. The transaction resulted in the issue of 10.848 million new ordinary shares and a share-based payment expense of R33.0 million for the year to June
2015.
Profit before income tax increased by 6.5% to R218.7 million. This includes the impact of the GPI transaction, the impact of the international restaurant closures, a
net charge of R25.4 million (2015: R4.9 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.
Profit before income tax from continuing operations (excluding the UK business in its entirety) increased by 16.7% to R247.6 million. The UK incurred a loss before
income tax of R31.7 million (2015: R6.7 million) for the year, which included losses arising from the closure of the retail outlets in that region.
Comparable profit before income tax from continuing operations, excluding exceptional and one-off items (including those listed above), increased by 9.8%.
Headline earnings increased by 15.9% to R164.0 million with headline earnings per share (HEPS) growing by 11.9% to 170.9 cents. Headline earnings from continuing
operations increased by 21.0% to R182.3 million with HEPS from continuing operations growing by 16.8% to 190.0 cents per share.
Comparable HEPS from continuing operations, excluding those items above and the impact of the GPI transaction, increased by 3.5%.
The total dividend was increased by 6.1% to 140.0 cents per share.
PROSPECTS
Amidst lower economic growth and negative consumer sentiment, consumers in the group's middle-income market will remain under pressure in the months ahead.
In this environment, the group will continue to attract cost conscious customers through aggressive marketing campaigns, targeted television advertising and providing
an excellent quality, value-driven product offering to its customers.
The group plans to open at least 28 restaurants across all brands in South Africa in the year ahead.
Nine new franchised outlets will be opened internationally, including additional restaurants in Nigeria and Zimbabwe, and the first Spur outlets in New Zealand and
Ethiopia. RocoMamas will be opening outlets in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kenya and Mauritius.
The closure of the UK operations is expected to contribute to increased profitability in the international operations.

3.Discontinued operation (United Kingdom)
By 30 June 2016, all operations in the UK and Ireland, representing a separate major line of business (and comprising a separate operating segment) of the group, had
ceased trading. The UK segment was not previously classified as held-for-sale. The results of the segment are reported separately to continuing operations.
During the year, the group:
-disposed of the lease and assets of Larkspur Two Ltd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group trading as Silver Lake Spur in Lakeside (England)) on 15 July 2015 for
R7.303 million in cash;
-renounced the lease of Larkspur Three Ltd (an 80% held subsidiary of the group operating the Apache Spur in Aberdeen (Scotland)), in favour of the landlord on
22 September 2015 for R8.463 million in cash, and relinquished ownership of all property, plant and equipment at the site;
-disposed of the assets of Larkspur One Ltd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group operating the Cheyenne Spur at the O2 Dome in London (England)) on 6 March 2016 for
R7.902 million in cash;
-ceased trading Larkspur Nine Ltd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group operating the Soaring Eagle Spur in Leicester (England)) on 29 February 2016, effectively
relinquishing control of all the tangible assets of the entity to the landlord for no consideration; and
-ceased trading Larkspur Six Ltd, Larkspur Seven Ltd, Larkspur Eight Ltd and Larkspur Ten Ltd, each wholly-owned subsidiaries of the group operating the Nevada Spur in
Belfast (Northern Ireland), Two Rivers Spur in Staines (England), Rapid River Spur in Dublin (Ireland) and RBW Corby (England) respectively, on 30 June 2016,
effectively relinquishing control of all the tangible assets of the respective entities to the respective landlords for no consideration.
During the prior year:
-The carrying value of property, plant and equipment of the Cheyenne Spur in the O2 Dome was partially impaired by R1.054 million as at 30 June 2015, as a result of
reduced prospects arising from the increased costs of occupancy, labour and raw material inputs;
-As a consequence of sustained trading losses incurred by the Mohawk Spur in Wandsworth (England), the group closed the outlet on 28 February 2015;
-Larkspur Five Ltd, a subsidiary in which the group owned a 70.6% equity interest and which previously operated the Golden Gate Spur in Gateshead (England) which
closed in October 2013, was dissolved on 16 June 2015. The group had previously recognised a liability in respect of a shareholder's loan to the non-controlling
shareholder which was extinguished as part of the dissolution of the company. 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.

belonging to the entity in question.
4.Changes in local retail operations
-The Hussar Grill Morningside - In September 2015, the group commenced trading a newly established The Hussar Grill in Morningside (Gauteng). The entity incurred a
loss before income tax of R1.302 million for the year (including initial trading and start-up losses), and acquired property, plant and equipment of R2.831 million.
-The Hussar Grill/RocoMamas Green Point - With effect from 15 November 2015, Opilor (Pty) Ltd, 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 R0.100 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 interests and the value of the shares issued to the non-controlling
shareholder amounted to R0.104 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 (Pty) Ltd 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 R0.607 million (before tax) relating to the relocation, and acquired property, plant and equipment of R2.551 million. The
entity in question then established a new RocoMamas outlet at the Green Point site, which commenced trading in December 2015. The outlet incurred a loss before income
tax of R1.881 million for the year (including initial trading and start-up losses), and acquired property, plant and equipment of R3.531 million.
5.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 49 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.
In assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, the directors have estimated the value-in-use of the cash-generating unit. Given the nature of the
franchise business, the directors consider that the cash-generating unit's fair value less costs to sell is unlikely to differ significantly from its value-in-use.
Prior to any current year impairment, the carrying value of the cash-generating unit comprised predominantly the value of the intangible assets, which amounted to
R25.747 million at the reporting date, following an impairment loss in the prior year of R13.905 million (R11.309 million after tax).
In determining the value-in-use of the cash-generating unit, the directors applied the following key assumptions:
-Cash inflows, comprising franchise fees, were estimated based on conservative budgets for the 2017 financial year and increases of 5.0% per annum for the 2018 to
2021 forecast horizon, based on historic experience, adjusting for a net two new stores in each year;
-Cash outflows for the 2017 financial year were estimated based on detailed expense budgets prepared by management adjusted for the remainder of the forecast period as
detailed below;
-Operating expenses were estimated to increase by inflation of 6.5%, and employment related costs by 10.0% per annum;
-Growth of cash flows in perpetuity beyond the forecast horizon was estimated at 3.0%;
-Pre-tax cash flows were discounted at a pre-tax rate of 19.0%, being the risk free rate adjusted for risk factors.
Based on the value-in-use calculation, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (comprising predominantly the trademark and related intellectual property
intangible assets) was estimated at R6.778 million, resulting in a further impairment of R18.969 million (attributable to the intangible assets) being included in
profit before income tax. A corresponding deferred tax credit of R4.249 million has been recognised in profit, resulting in a net loss included in profit attributable
to ordinary shareholders of R14.720 million.
Three of the key variables in determining the recoverable amount above and the impact of a reasonably possible change in each variable on the recoverable amount are
listed below:
Increase/(decrease) in recoverable
amount and decrease/(increase)
R'000 in profit before income tax
Change in variable:
Revenue growth
- Increased by 2% 1 109
- Decreased by 2% (1 068)
Discount rate
- Increased by 2% (760)
- Decreased by 2% 978
Growth in perpetuity
- Increased by 2% 549
- Decreased by 2% (427)
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.
6.Broad-based black economic empowerment deal with GPI
As detailed in the circular to shareholders of 4 September 2014, and approved by shareholders at a general meeting on 3 October 2014, the company concluded various
agreements in the prior year 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 broad-based black economic empowerment 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 Payments and
included in profit before income tax for that year, 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. 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 is 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 charged directly against equity (retained earnings); and the balance of R0.301 million was included in
profit before income tax for the prior year.
7.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 "Smashburgers", 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. At the date of
acquisition, the company had five franchised outlets based in Gauteng.
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 accounting for the purchase is summarised as follows:
R'000 2015
Fair value of net assets acquired at acquisition date 6 398
Attributable to non-controlling interest (3 135)
Group's share of net assets acquired 3 263
Goodwill arising on acquisition 42 439
Total purchase consideration 45 702
Settled in cash 2 000
Contingent consideration 43 702
Consideration settled in cash (2 000)
Cash and cash equivalents acquired 618
Net cash flow on acquisition of subsidiary (1 382)
The total purchase consideration over the three-year period was estimated at R70.764 million at the acquisition date, and R52.800 million (2015: R70.764 million) at
the reporting date. The reduction in the estimated consideration arose principally from a downward revision of the number of stores to be rolled out over the initial
three-year period, and a moderation of the expected growth in turnover of existing businesses, which similarly impacted on the fair value of the contingent
consideration.
The movement in the contingent consideration liability is detailed as follows:
R'000 2016 2015
Balance at beginning of year 47 383 -
Arising from acquisition - 43 702
Fair value adjustment recognised in profit before income tax (3 723) 3 681
Payment made (April 2016) (20 369) -
Balance at end of year 23 291 47 383
Current portion included in current liabilities 9 726 15 974
Non-current portion included in non-current liabilities 13 565 31 409
8.Australia
During the prior year, 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), on 1 August 2014 for R1.992 million in cash. As part of the transaction, Panpen was required to settle the outstanding
shareholder's loan with the non-controlling shareholder in the amount of R1.576 million, which amount was settled in cash. The net liabilities of Panpen at
1 August 2014, included in the consolidated financial statements of the group, amounted 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;
-disposed of its 100% interest in Panpen for R8.188 million (AU$880 000) on 31 March 2015 on loan account, to be 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%;
-disposed of its 92.67% interest in Panawest Pty Ltd, the Australian subsidiary operating the Panarottis outlet in Blacktown, on 15 November 2014 for AU$1. 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;
-disposed of the business of the Silver Spur in Penrith as a going concern for R2.977 million (AU$320 000) on 31 March 2015, on loan account, to be 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%.
Following these disposals, the group operates exclusively as a franchisor in Australia.

9.Share Incentive Schemes
-Existing cash-settled share appreciation rights 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. Details of the financial impact of the scheme are listed below:
R'000 2016 2015
Gross cash outflow on vesting of cash-settled rights (18 445) (24 045)
Gross cash inflow from economic hedging instrument 11 858 19 725

Fair value (loss)/gain on economic hedging instrument (27 714) 14 794
Net expense included in profit before income tax (25 353) (4 941)
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. Refer also note 13.
-New equity-settled share incentive scheme
Following the approval by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 4 December 2015 of the Spur Group Forfeitable Share Plan ("FSP") and Spur Group Share
Appreciation Rights ("SAR") Scheme, 155 000 forfeitable shares and 1 971 663 rights were granted on 1 April 2016 to certain senior managers and directors in accordance
with the rules of the respective schemes. The forfeitable shares are subject only to a three-year service condition. The share appreciation rights are subject to a
three-year service condition as well as non-market performance criteria relating to return on equity and growth in comparable headline earnings per share over the
three-year vesting period. In the case of both the FSP and SAR schemes, subsequent to vesting after three years, participants are restricted from trading in the shares
for a further two-year period.
The grant-date fair value of the forfeitable shares was determined to be R19.57 per share.
The grant-date fair value of the share appreciation rights was determined to be R6.40 per right. The strike price of the rights is R29.40, being the 10-day volume-
weighted average price of the company's shares at the date the rights were offered to participants.
The equity-settled share-based payment expense for the year included in profit before income tax amounts to R0.827 million. A related deferred tax credit in the amount
of R0.069 million and R0.036 million is included in profit and equity respectively.
Existing treasury shares were used in the FSP forfeitable shares granted in the current year. Costs associated with the transfer amounted to R0.054 million and capital
gains tax amounted to R0.625 million, both of which have been charged directly against equity (retained earnings).
The forfeitable shares granted resulted in 16 582 dilutive potential ordinary shares for the year. As the performance conditions of the share appreciation rights, as
assessed at the reporting date, had not been met to result in any vesting of the rights, no adjustment has been made to the diluted weighted average number of shares
in issue in respect of these contingently issuable shares.
The grant-date fair values of the forfeitable shares and share appreciation rights were determined by an independent external professional financial instruments
specialist using a Black-Scholes European Call Option Model. The instruments are designated as level 2 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 instruments in question, but are not quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets/liabilities. Key inputs into the valuation model include:
-the risk-free interest rate at grant date was determined with reference to the R186 government bond at 8.6%;
-the expected dividend yield on the company's shares was calculated at 3.9%;
-the expected volatility of the company's share price was calculated at 34.5%; and
-a liquidity discount of 19.6% and 7.0% was applied to the forfeitable shares and share appreciation rights respectively due to the lock-in periods applicable.
10.Braviz Fine Foods
In March 2014, the group acquired a 30% interest in Braviz Fine Foods (Pty) Ltd, a start-up 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 year amounts to R8.601 million (2015: R1.633 million), arising primarily from finance costs
incurred by the entity on shareholder and other funding for the respective periods as well as depreciation charges. 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 as indicated below:
R'000 2016 2015
Gross carrying value of receivable 45 017 40 773
Cumulative share of losses of equity-accounted investee (10 213) (1 612)
Total net investment in equity-accounted investee 34 804 39 161
The loan has been subordinated in favour of the external financier of the borrower.

No material events have occurred between the reporting date and the date of this report.
12.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 Service ("SARS")
had previously issued assessments to wholly-owned subsidiary, Spur Group (Pty) Ltd, for additional income from controlled foreign companies of the group for the 2009,
2010 and 2011 years of assessment. The assessments amounted in aggregate to R1.993 million (comprising R1.561 million in tax and R0.432 million in interest) which
were settled in cash in the 2014 financial year. Following alternate dispute resolution ("ADR") proceedings initiated with SARS in November 2014, 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 balance paid to date is accounted for as a
prepayment of income tax. Subsequent to the reporting date, on 10 August 2016, the board has been notified by SARS that SARS has accepted a final settlement in the
amount of R400 000 for the 2010 and 2011 years of assessment. The relevant settlement agreements are expected to be formally concluded in due course.
-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 previously issued
additional assessments to wholly-owned subsidiary, Spur Group (Pty) Ltd, in respect of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 years of assessment totalling R6.589 million (comprising
R5.098 million in additional income 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. 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),
which were settled in cash on 30 September 2015. The matter was referred to ADR proceedings which were held on 17 March 2016. The ADR process resulted in no agreement
being reached with SARS, and the company has indicated to SARS that it intends to refer the matter to court. The board awaits SARS' statement of grounds of assessment
and opposing the appeal to take the matter further. 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. The payments made to date are accounted
for as prepayments of income tax.
-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.
13.Fair value of financial instruments
-The 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 cash-settled 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 9). 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 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 (refer note 17 on page 117 of the annual integrated report for the year ended 30 June 2015) with the following key inputs:
Number of shares 1.5 million for settlement on 15 December 2016 (forward price: R37.57)
1.5 million for settlement on 14 December 2017 (forward price: R35.94)
Spot price R30.90
Expected volatility 34.13%
Interest rate (nominal annual compounded quarterly) 7.54% - 7.74%
Credit spread 2.0% - 2.5%
-The values of the forward purchase contracts are particularly sensitive to the prevailing spot price of the company's shares. A 10% increase or decrease in the share
price will increase or decrease respectively the aggregate fair value of the contracts by R9.103 million, resulting in an increase or decrease in profit before income
tax respectively of the same amount.
The liability for the contingent consideration referred to in note 7 (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 26.4% (2015: 25.3%), being the weighted average cost of capital of the
subsidiary. 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 year is a credit of R3.723 million (2015: R3.681 million charge), and relates largely to the adjustment for the time value of money from the initial
acquisition date to the reporting date, an increase in the discount rate (due to a rise in interest rates over the year), a downward revision of the number of stores
to be rolled out over the initial three-year period, and a moderation of the expected growth in turnover of existing businesses. 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:
Increase/(decrease) in fair
value of liability and
decrease/(increase)
R'000 in profit before income tax
Change in variable:
Projected profit before income tax
- Increased by 5% 2 127
- Decreased by 5% (2 127)
Discount rate
- Increased by 2% (392)
- Decreased by 2% 408
-The group has not disclosed the fair values of loans receivable, financial assets included in trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans payable,
bank overdrafts, financial liabilities included in trade and other payables and shareholders for dividend as their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of
their fair values. In the case of loans receivable and loans payable, the directors consider the terms of the loans (including, in particular, the interest rates
applicable) to be commensurate with similar financial instruments between unrelated market participants and the carrying values are therefore assumed to approximate
their fair values. In the case of financial assets included in trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank overdrafts, financial liabilities included
in trade and other payables and shareholders for dividend, the durations of the financial instruments are short and it is therefore assumed that the carrying values
approximate their fair values.
