ended 30 June 2004, with the exception of the adoption of IFRS 3 - Business     
Combinations. These results have been reviewed by KPMG Inc. and their           
unqualified review report is available for inspection at the company`s          
registered office.                                                              
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW                                                  
During the past financial year we again experienced buoyant trading conditions. 
While the first six months, which includes the festive season, is traditionally 
our stronger trading period, we are particularly pleased with our performance   
in the latter half of the year under review.                                    
Spur prides itself on being a South African restaurant chain, which has becomean
icon for all South Africans. The growth of the country`s middle class, with     
its increased spending power, has been a positive development for our economy,  
and the group`s value-based offering is finding increasing support from this    
rapidly growing sector of the consumer market.                                  
Turnover for the year advanced by 11% to R200.6 million (2004: R181.0 million). 
This includes the impact of the decreased wholesale and distribution sales that 
resulted from the decision taken during the year to outsource the national      
distribution of our central kitchen products. The outsourcing of this function  
will ensure consistency and quality of delivery to our outlets nationally.      
It is significant to note that our core franchise royalty income advanced by    
19%. As we benchmark our performance on the growth in turnover of our existing  
stores, it is encouraging that same store turnover was 13% ahead of last year,  
which is substantially higher than menu inflation of 4.5%.                      
Operating profit, boosted by unrealised foreign exchange gains of R2.5 million, 
increased by 37% to R68.5 million. Headline earnings of R51.1 million (2004:    
R37.2 million) increased by 37%, while headline earnings per share of 56.3      
cents were 42% ahead of 2004 (2004: 39.7 cents), in line with the trading       
statement issued on 24 August 2005.                                             
The group has grown its store base to 287 across its three brands locally and   
internationally:

Indications are that the Consumer Price Index and interest rates are likely to  
remain steady for the year ahead. These factors are expected to provide a       
favourable trading environment for the year ahead and the board and management  
are confident of continued solid growth.                                        
CAPITAL DISTRIBUTION                                                            
In accordance with a general authority given to the directors at the annual

The distribution will be paid on Monday, 10 October 2005, to those shareholders
