TRADING STATEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2007                 
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE Listings         
Requirements"), companies are required to publish a trading statement as soon as
they become aware that the financial results for the period to be reported upon 
next will differ by at least 20% from that of the previous corresponding period.
Famous Brands accordingly advises that it expects headline earnings and headline
earnings per share for the year ended 28 February 2007 to be between 30 to 40   
percent above headline earnings and headline earnings per share reported for the
previous corresponding period.                                                  
This improved performance is primarily attributable to the following:           
-    The positive impact of the robust trading environment experienced and the  
    take on of the Wimpy brand manufacturing business.                          
-    The synergy between the group`s convenience-centered value-for-money       
    offerings and the entrenchment of Quick Service Restaurants and casual      
    dining as a way of life for time-poor, double income families.              
Improved margins have been achieved across the group`s divisions as a result of 
extracting efficiencies from existing and new capacity in the business.         
The information on which the above trading statement is based has not been      
reviewed or reported on by the company`s auditors.                              
The financial results of the group will be published on SENS on Monday, 14 May  
2007.
