1. Shares in issue less shares repurchased by a wholly owned subsidiary company 
and share incentive company.                                                    
2. Trademarks - In accordance with IFRS 1 - First Time Adoption of              
International Financial Reporting Standards, Appendix B2(b), trademarks         
previously written off against reserves have been reinstated with a             
resultant increase in equity. In accordance with IAS 38 - Intangible Assets,    
trademarks have been assessed to have indefinite useful lives and               
accordingly have not been amortised, but are subject to an annual impairment    
review.                                                                         
3. Property, plant and equipment - In terms of IFRS 1, the group has elected to 
measure certain items of property, plant and equipment at the date of           
transition to IFRS at its fair value and use that fair value as its deemed      
cost at that date. This exemption was applied to land and buildings owned at    
the transition date while residual values of 50% were assigned to all the       
buildings. This has resulted in a lower depreciation charge on properties,      
and a reversal of accumulated depreciation.                                     
4. Deferred taxation - Deferred taxation has been adjusted to account for the   
effect of the IFRS adjustments set out in notes 2 and 3.                        
5. Foreign currency translation - IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign    
Exchange Rates, requires the translation of foreign subsidiary companies with   
a different functional currency (i.e. other than Rand) than its parent to       
translate all their assets and liabilities at year end spot rates.              
Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are no longer recognised    
in the income statement, but are now recognised directly in a separate          
component of equity (foreign currency translation reserve or "FCTR").           
The group has elected the exemption available in IFRS 1, to set its FCTR        
to zero at the transition date i.e. 1 July 2004.                                
6. Share-based payments - IFRS 2 - Share-based Payments, requires that the      
fair value of equity settled share-based payments be determined at grant date   
and that the expense be charged to the income statement over the vesting        
period net of related taxes.                                                    
7. Deferred taxation - An adjustment was required to account for the taxation   
benefit derived from the Spur management share incentive scheme.                
GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CONVERSION TO IFRS                                
The Spur Corporation Board of Directors has adopted International Financial     
Reporting Standards (IFRS) for the year ended 30 June 2006. The financial       
statements for the year ended 30 June 2006 will be the company"s first          
financial statements prepared in compliance with IFRS and hence IFRS 1 - First  
Time Adoption of IFRS has been applied in preparing these financial statements. 
The company has adopted all applicable IFRS issued or revised up to 30 June     
2006. These results have been reviewed by KPMG Inc., and their unqualified      
review opinion is available for inspection at the company"s registered office.  
In terms of IFRS 1, the group has restated its opening reserves and the         
consolidated balance sheet as at 1 July 2004 as well as the consolidated income 
statement and cash flow statement for the year ending 30 June 2005. For further 
details on this see notes 2 - 7.                                                
FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL REVIEW                                                
Spur Corporation has continued to capitalise on buoyant trading conditions to   
further entrench its position in the family sit-down restaurant market          
in South Africa. Financial performance was boosted by improved second half      
results, with the group experiencing a record number of restaurant openings and 
upgrades of existing restaurants.                                               
Restaurant turnover, which reflects in the franchise fee income received from   
franchisees, increased by 17.7% and passed the R2 billion mark for the first    
time. The turnover of existing restaurants, excluding new outlets opened during 
the year, was 10.7% higher than the previous year.                              
Group revenue declined by 8.9% to R182.7 million (2005: R200.6 million) as a    
result of the lower wholesale and distribution sales following the outsourcing  
of the national distribution of restaurant supplies from the group"s central    
kitchens to an independent distributor. The outsourcing of this function is     
already proving beneficial to the group and will have a positive effect on      
profitability and operating margins in the long term.                           
Operating profit grew by 17.2% to R77.4 million (2005: R66.1 million),          
benefiting from disciplined cost control and restaurant revenue growth.         
Headline earnings increased by 15.4% to R58.0 million (2005: R50.2 million).    
Headline earnings per share rose by 18.9% to 65.76 cents (2005: 55.32 cents)    
while diluted headline earnings per share increased by 17.7% to 65.10 cents     
(2005: 55.32 cents).                                                            
The group has grown its base to 321 outlets across its three brands locally and 
internationally following the addition of 34 restaurants during the financial   
year. These comprise 15 Spur Steak Ranches, 9 Panarottis Pizza Pasta and 10     
John Dory"s Fish & Grill outlets. Sixteen restaurants were revamped and this    
has resulted in strong revenue growth in all these businesses.                  
A summary of the restaurant base at 30 June 2006 is as follows:                 
Franchise brand                    South Africa     International     Total     
Spur Steak Ranches                          215                24       239     
Panarottis Pizza Pasta                       57                 8        65     
John Dory"s Fish & Grill                     17                 -        17     
Total                                       289                32       321     
Black economic empowerment remains a priority and Spur Corporation has          
facilitated funding of R30 million from the Industrial Development Corporation  
to finance black franchisees.                                                   
PROSPECTS                                                                       
While the low interest rate environment has contributed to strong turnover      
growth in recent years, the interest rate increases in June and August,         
together with further anticipated hikes in the year ahead, are likely to result 
in a slowdown in discretionary consumer spending. This creates an opportunity   
for the group to make further market share gains across the three franchise     
brands as consumers become more price sensitive and value-for-money conscious.  
The continued expansion of our restaurant footprint will bolster revenue        
growth.                                                                         
CAPITAL DISTRIBUTION                                                            
In accordance with a general authority given to the directors at the annual     
general meeting held on 2 December 2005, shareholders are advised that the      
board of directors of the company has declared a capital distribution of R22.0  
million payable to the company"s shareholders, in lieu of dividends, to be      
written off against the share premium account, which amount equates to 25 cents 
per ordinary share ("the distribution").                                        
The distribution will be paid on Monday, 9 October 2006, to those shareholders  
of the company who are recorded in the company"s register on Friday, 6 October  
2006 ("the record date").                                                       
The last day to trade (cum the distribution) in the company"s shares for        
purposes of entitlement to the distribution will be Friday, 29 September 2006.  
The shares will commence trading ex the distribution on Monday, 2 October 2006. 
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Monday,  
2 October and Friday, 6 October 2006 both days inclusive.
