Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
1. Basis of preparation
The audited condensed consolidated financial information
announcement for the year ended 30 June 2010 was prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), International Standard 34, the Listings Requirements of
the JSE Limited and the South African Companies Act 61 of 1973.
The accounting policies are consistent with those of the previous
financial year and comply with IFRS, except for the impact of the
standards noted below that became effective on 1 July 2009: IAS1
Presentation of Financial Statements (revised) and IFRS 8
Operating Segments. The adoption of these standards has no effect
on the results, nor has it required any restatement of the
results. These financial statements do not include all the
information required for full annual financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2010. These
results have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc, Chartered
Accountants (SA), Registered Auditors. Their unqualified audit
opinion is available for inspection at the company`s registered
office.
These audited condensed consolidated financial statements were
approved by the board of directors on 20 August 2010.
The following new amendments to IFRS are relevant to the group and
are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning
1 July 2009:
IAS 1 (revised), Presentation of Financial Statements. The revised
standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expense
(that is `non-owner` changes in equity) in the statement of
changes in equity, requiring `non-owner changes in equity` to be
presented separately from owner changes in equity. All `non-owner`
changes in equity are required to be shown in a performance
statement. Entities can choose whether to present one performance
statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two
statements (the income statement and statement of comprehensive
income). The group has elected to present one performance
statement: a statement of comprehensive income. The financial
statements have been prepared under the revised disclosure
requirements.
IFRS 8 Operating Segments. The revised standard requires segmental
disclosure based on information that management uses to run the
business. The adoption of this standard has no effect on the
results, nor has it required any restatement of the results.

7. Acquisition of BEE share options
On 1 July 2009, the group repurchased the 25% of the shares held
in the subsidiary company Supreme Poultry (Pty) Ltd, for an amount
of R582 771. These shares were held by Jacinda (Pty) Ltd as part
of a BEE initiative whereby a BEE share option was granted in 2007
to Union Square Properties 49 (Pty) Ltd.
In 2007, a BEE share option to the value of R12 333 514 was
recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income
and a reserve within equity and thus resulted in a decrease of
6.59 cents in earnings per share. However, in terms of the
accounting standard IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, the group cannot
recognise the balance of the reserve resulting from the repurchase
of this BEE share option as a gain of R11 750 743 in the statement
of comprehensive income. This amount therefore remains as a
reserve within equity.
8. Reclassification of comparative figures
In the prior year financial statements proceeds from borrowings
and repayment of borrowings were disclosed net in the group`s
statement of cash flows. Furthermore, proceeds from financial
assets and investments and acquisition of financial assets and
investments were also disclosed net in the group`s statement of
cash flows. In order to more fairly present the cash flow
information, these amounts have been separately disclosed in the
current year statement of cash flows. This has resulted in the
restatement of the prior year figures.

In the prior year financial statements,
distribution costs and administrative
expenses were disclosed separately on
the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income. In the current
year, these amounts are now disclosed
under other expenses. Furthermore, in
the prior year, expenses to the value of
R8.758 million were incorrectly
allocated to costs of sales. This amount
should have formed part of other
expenses. This has resulted in the
restatement of prior year figures.

Financial review
Operating profit of R122.2 million was achieved for the year ended 30 June 2010,
which when compared to last year`s figure of R186.6 million is a decline of 35%.
However, after stripping out the effects of the sale of Elite and the net effect
of the fair value adjustments of Sovereign in 2009 and 2010 the reduction is
11.5% which given the industry`s overall market conditions is satisfactory.
Revenue was up 9% to R2.43 billion for the period (2009: R2.24 billion), with
gross profit increasing by 8% to R274.4 million (2009: R253.9 million) after
accounting for a 9% increase in cost of sales attributable to volume growth.
Profit before income tax fell 51% to R68.4 million (2009: R138.3 million)
primarily as a result of the non-recurring items reflected above and in note 2.
The group`s gearing ratio improved slightly to 2.44 from 2.50 a year ago due
mainly to the sale of the financial assets being the shares in Sovereign Food
Investments.
Operational review
Poultry - South Africa
The South African poultry division reported an 8.0% increase in volumes sold for
the period. This, together with a 9.3% improvement in the cost of feed and
substantial improvements in operational efficiencies was more than offset by the
8% reduction in realisations over last year. The non-recurring items mentioned
above and in note 2 were accounted for in Supreme, and after stripping them out
the adjusted operating profit for the period was R102.9 million versus R120.9
million - a drop of 15%.
Poultry - Other Africa
This comprises a grandparent breeding operation in Zambia and a parent breeding
operation and broiler operation in Botswana. Revenues for the year decreased by
14%. As a result of challenging trading conditions operating profit declined to
a loss of R5.2 million (2009: profit of R9.1 million).
Animal Nutrition - South Africa
Nutri Feeds reported further improvement of 16.2% in volumes sold for the period
under review. As a result of maize price reductions during the year, revenues
only increased by 10.3%, however margins improved to yield an operating profit
of R27.2 million (2009: R10.8 million). Internal sales (to Supreme) account for
65% of the volume sold from Nutri Feeds.
Animal Nutrition - Other Africa
Both mills in Zambia and Botswana are on target for penetration into their
markets, and operations in these new businesses are running smoothly. Revenues
for the combined operations are flat at R190.6 million (2009: 190.8 million) but
operating profit has increased 27.8% to R10.9 million (2009: R8.6 million).
Red Meat
New product launches and penetration into new markets have seen volumes increase
by 11% and realisations increase by 50% giving a total increase in turnover of
67% to R294.0 million (2009: R175.7 million). Margins remain under intense
pressure resulting in an operating loss for the period of R0.8 million (2009:
R3.2 million profit).
Prospects
Realisations for the poultry industry for the medium term will remain under
pressure from weak demand and higher levels of imported poultry brought about by
the strong Rand. Continued efficient grain procurement, further improvements in
operational efficiencies and cost control should result in improved operating
margins, whilst on the marketing side, focus will remain on driving exports and
the quick service restaurant business.
In the South African feed business further scientific development of bespoke
feed rations has assisted Supreme Poultry and its customers to achieve
outstanding growing results. The feed operation is increasing its volumes and
the increase in capacity utilisation should result in higher operating income.
The feed mills in Zambia and Botswana are performing well and the re-
establishment of Tswana Prides Abattoir that had burnt down will result in good
growth in feed volume and market penetration. Operational efficiency and margin
improvement are the focus going forward.
The African Poultry operations are returning to profitability and some
restructuring and strategic acquisitions are under consideration.
Capital distribution
In line with the group`s dividend policy of three times cover, a capital
distribution of 1.47 cents per share for the period has been declared for
payment on 29 November 2010.
