    The group is engaged in the manufacturing, marketing and                    
    distribution of alcoholic beverages. As these activities comprise an        
integrated operation, the group regards this as a single primary            
    business segment, on which all information is disclosed in this             
    profit announcement.                                                        
8.  Contingencies                                                               
The group has given guarantees to financial institutions to the             
    amount of R57 million. These exposures are covered by mortgage bonds        
    over properties of third parties.                                           
    In prior years the group received compensation for relinquishing its        
distribution rights to certain trade marks. The South African               
    Revenue Service has issued revised tax assessments to the value of          
    R29,5 million in terms of which the proceeds of R67 million have            
    been subjected to income and value added tax. The group has lodged          
an appeal against these assessments and the matter will be heard in         
    the Special Income Tax Court.                                               
Accounting policy and comparative figures                                       
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)                              
With effect from 1 July 2005, Distell is required to prepare its consolidated   
financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Consequently, the first published 
IFRS results are the interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2005. 
Distell"s first complete set of financial statements under IFRS will be for the 
year ending 30 June 2006. As comparative information is also reported, the date 
for the transition to IFRS is effectively 1 July 2004. IFRS 1 "First-time       
adoption of IFRS" has been applied and the results for the comparative periods  
have been restated accordingly. The detailed IFRS Transition report will be     
included in the interim report mailed to shareholders and featured on the       
website at www.distell.co.za.                                                   
These interim results have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim     
Financial Reporting" and IFRS expected to be applicable on 30 June 2006.        
In October 2005 the group entered into a broad-based Black Economic Empowerment 
transaction with a consortium that includes investment group, Wiphold; all      
Distell"s employees and a Corporate Social Investment Trust. The cost of this   
transaction to Distell"s shareholders, calculated by using an option pricing    
model, equates to R122,3 million. Based on IFRIC 8 "Scope of IFRS 2" issued in  
January 2006, IFRS 2 "Share-based payments" will apply to the non-employee      
portion of the BEE transaction. Earlier application of this Interpretation is   
being adopted, resulting in an non-recurring expense of R67,3 million and a     
corresponding increase in equity. No further measurement or adjustments are     
required as it is presumed that the BEE credentials are received upfront. The   
R55,0 million relating to the employee portion of the BEE transaction is being  
expensed over a vesting period of 8 years in terms of IFRS 2 at R6,9 million per
year, commencing from the current financial year.                               
Comparative figures                                                             
Comparative figures for the year ended 30 June 2005 and the six months to 31    
December 2004 have been restated to reflect the changes relating to the adoption
of IFRS.                                                                        
Adjustments which reflect the major differences between South African Statements
of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice ("SA GAAP") and IFRS are noted below. 
The adjustments are shown net of taxation where applicable.                     
Share-based payments                                                            
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2, the fair value of outstanding    
employee share options granted since 7 November 2002 to participants under the  
Distell Group Share Trust, has been recognised as an expense in the income      
statement over the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to equity.       
Property, plant and equipment                                                   
Past interpretation of SA GAAP did not provide for the re-assessment of an      
asset"s useful life and residual value annually. The revised statement version  
of IAS 16 requires useful lives and residual values of assets to be reviewed at 
least at each financial year-end. This resulted in an increase in distributable 
reserves with a corresponding increase in Property, plant and equipment.        
Foreign currency transactions                                                   
In accordance with IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", no
distinction is made between integral foreign operations and foreign entities and
all assets and liabilities of foreign operations must be translated from their  
respective functional currencies into the group"s presentation currency using   
the year-end exchange rates, and their income and expenses using the average    
exchange rates. Gains or losses resulting from translation of functional        
currencies to the presentation currency must be reflected as a separate         
component of shareholders" equity.                                              
Proportionate consolidation of Afdis Holdings (Private) Ltd (50%)               
Afdis Holdings (Private) Limited ("Afdis Holdings"), a company registered in    
Zimbabwe, was not previously consolidated under SA GAAP due to the severe       
currency and long-term restrictions which significantly impaired its ability to 
transfer funds to its shareholders.                                             
In terms of IFRS, this exemption is prohibited and as a result this entity is   
now required to be proportionately consolidated in accordance with IAS 31       
"Interest in Joint Ventures".

The interim results have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of   
the South African Companies Act (Act 61 of 1973), as amended and the Listings   
Requirements of the JSE Limited (JSE).                                          
Operating performance                                                           
Revenue, on a restated basis, grew 11,2% to R3,7 billion on a sales volume      
increase of 5,9%.                                                               
Distell"s sales volumes in the domestic market grew 4,8%. Our trademarks in the 
spirits and ready-to-drink (RTD) categories continued to perform better than    
those in the wine category, where growth was marginal. Sales volumes of spirits 
and RTD categories increased 2,8% and 11,7% respectively. Sales volumes of      
unfortified wine, however, remained under pressure due to increased competition 
amongst local producers who, given the continuing strength of the rand,         
continued to aggressively pursue the domestic market. Although this has resulted
in an environment of active discounting, we have elected to apply marketing and 
pricing strategies that maintain the integrity of Distell"s brands, protecting  
them for the long-term.                                                         
International sales volumes, excluding Africa, increased 22,0%. Natural wines   
showed volume growth of 23,2% and Amarula Cream, growth of 15,0%. As a result,  
total international revenue, rose 16,3% .                                       
Revenue derived from African countries increased 9,2% on a sales volume growth  
of 4,1%.                                                                        
The increase of 17,5% in trading income was driven largely by increased revenue,
enabling the group to benefit from improved throughput. Operating margin, as a  
result, improved from 13,5% to 14,2%.                                           
Net financing costs declined by R13,3 million to R21,5 million, mainly as a     
result of a substantial improvement in cash flow.                               
Headline earnings for the period, excluding the BEE expense, reflect an increase
of 21,0% to R360,1 million.                                                     
Investment and funding                                                          
Total assets increased 6,0% to R5,4 billion.                                    
Capital expenditure amounted to R77,4 million.                                  
Investment in working capital, compared to the corresponding period of the      
previous year, decreased by 3,7% to R1,7 billion. An increase in the production 
of bulk wines and spirits was necessitated by the group"s long-term view of     
consumer demand for its products. However, process and systems enhancement      
enabled management to reduce substantially the investment in bottled stock and  
packaging material and to further improve on overall stock duration.            
Cash generated by operating activities amounted to R473,4 million (2004: R246,0 
million), and net interest-bearing borrowings decreased by R414,7 million (2004:
R212,4 million). At the end of the reporting period the group was in a net cash 
position.                                                                       
Prospects                                                                       
On the domestic front, growth in consumer spending is expected to continue,     
while interest rates remain at their current levels, impacting positively on the
demand for alcoholic beverages. However, we expect trading conditions to remain 
competitive, resulting in increased marketing investment by industry players.   
Distell"s own investment in brands will remain robust and we are simultaneously 
implementing focused strategies to improve performance across all facets of the 
business.                                                                       
Internationally, the economic outlook remains relatively optimistic. However,   
the global oversupply in wine continues, placing ongoing pressure on producers  
participating in the major markets. Fortunately, our enhanced distribution      
network, wide geographic reach and solid trademarks strengthen our ability to   
optimize opportunities in a difficult trading environment. At the same time,    
Amarula is continuing to entrench its presence in important markets.            
The group expects to continue to reflect growth in earnings.

The directors have resolved to declare dividend number 35 of 68 cents (2004: 56

the BEE expense.

Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")              
Unaudited restatement of financial information for the year ended 30 June 2005  
and the six months ended 31 December 2004 under IFRS                            
Comments                                                                        
Note: this document must be read in conjunction with paragraph 1 of the interim 
report.                                                                         
To explain how Distell"s reported performance and financial position are        
impacted by IFRS, information previously published under South African          
Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice ("SA GAAP") has been       
restated and reconciled to the equivalent basis under IFRS. This restatement    
follows the guidelines set out in IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of IFRS".         
This document includes the following:                                           
*  Basis of preparation and explanation of transitional arrangements and        
material adjustments                                                            
*  Consolidated Balance Sheets as at 1 July 2004, 31 December 2004 and 30 June  
2005                                                                            
*  Consolidated Income Statements for the six months ended                      
31 December 2004 and the year ended 30 June 2005                                
*  Reconciliation of total assets, liabilities and equity at 1 July 2004, 31    
December 2005 and 30 June 2005                                                  
*  Reconciliation of income statements for the six months ended 31 December 2004
and the year ended 30 June 2005                                                 
*  Reconciliation of shareholders equity at 1 July 2004,                        
31 December 2005 and 30 June 2005                                               
Basis of preparation                                                            
For the year ended 30 June 2005 Distell prepared its financial statements under 
SA GAAP, effective at that date. In accordance with the JSE Listings            
Requirements, all listed companies are required to adopt International Financial
Reporting Standards for years commencing on or after 1 January 2005. Distell are
therefore required to prepare its consolidated financial statements in          
accordance with IFRS for the year ending 30 June 2006. As the group publishes   
comparative information for one year in its financial statements, the date for  
transition to IFRS is 1 July 2004, which represents the start of the earliest   
period of comparative information presented.                                    
IFRS 1 sets out the guidelines for entities to follow in its first set of IFRS  
financial statements. Distell has used these guidelines to restate its financial
information previously published under SA GAAP to the equivalent basis under    
IFRS. It is important to note that this financial information has been prepared 
in accordance with IFRS statements that are expected to be effective as at 30   
June 2006. These are subject to ongoing review and possible amendment by        
interpretation guidance from the International Accounting Standards Board       
("IASB") and may therefore change.                                              
The directors acknowledge its responsibility for the preparation of the         
financial information in accordance with IFRS and policies expected to be       
applicable when it prepares Distell"s first set of IFRS financial statements for
the year ending 30 June 2006.                                                   
Transitional arrangements                                                       
The date of transition to IFRS for the group is 1 July 2004 and therefore as    
required by IFRS 1, the group"s opening balance sheet at 1 July 2004 has been   
restated to reflect retrospectively all existing IFRS standards and             
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC")           
interpretations.                                                                
IFRS 1 contains a number of optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to this
full retrospective application of IFRS and Distell has considered these options 
and has applied the following:                                                  
Business combinations                                                           
The group has elected not to apply IFRS 3 "Business Combinations"               
retrospectively to business combinations that occurred prior to 1 July 2004. As 
a result, the carrying amount of any goodwill is the amortised amount on 30 June
2004 and previously amortised goodwill and goodwill eliminated against reserves 
are not re-instated.                                                            
Property, plant and equipment                                                   
A first time adopter may elect to use the fair value of property, plant and     
equipment at transition date as the deemed cost. The group is not making use of 
this transitional exemption and elects to measure individual items of property, 
plant and equipment at depreciated cost determined in accordance with IFRS.     
Cumulative translation differences                                              
The cumulative translation differences in respect of the group"s foreign        
operations have been reset to zero on the date of transition.                   
Share-based payments                                                            
The group is electing not to apply the provisions of IFRS 2 "Share-based        
Payments" to equity-settled instruments granted on or before 7 November 2002, or
to equity instruments granted after 7 November 2002 but which had vested prior  
to 1 January 2005.                                                              
Financial instruments                                                           
The group is electing the exemption not to restate its comparatives for IAS 32  
"Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation" and IAS 39 "Financial     
Instruments - Recognition and Measurement". The group has applied existing SA   
GAAP applicable as at 30 June 2005 to financial instruments in its 2005 figures 
that will be disclosed as comparatives for the 2006 IFRS results.               
Estimates                                                                       
Where estimates were previously made under SA GAAP, consistent estimates have   
been made on transition to IFRS.                                                
Cash flow statement                                                             
None of the IFRS adjustments to the cash flow statement were material.          
Further changes                                                                 
It is possible that the preliminary financial information may require adjustment
before including it in Distell"s first full set of IFRS financial statements for
the year ending 30 June 2006. This is due to revisions or changes to standards  
issued by the IASB and interpretations or guidance on the application of IFRS in
a particular industry.                                                          
Material adjustments                                                            
The basis of the major adjustments between SA GAAP and IFRS, as shown in the    
Reconciliation of Equity and the Reconciliation of Income Statement tables, is  
noted below. The adjustments are shown net of taxation where applicable.        
Share-based payments                                                            
The group grants share options to participants under the Distell Group Share    
Trust. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2, the group has recognised  
an expense in the income statement, with a corresponding credit to equity,      
representing the fair value of outstanding employee share options. The fair     
value of the option at grant date is recognised in the income statement over the
relevant option vesting periods, adjusted to reflect actual and expected levels 
of vesting.                                                                     
Property, plant and equipment                                                   
Past interpretation of SA GAAP did not take into account the re-assessment of an
asset"s useful life and residual value on an annual basis.                      
The revised statement version of IAS 16 requires useful lives and residual      
values of assets to be reviewed at least at each financial year-end.            
Foreign currency transactions                                                   
In accordance with IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", no
distinction is made between integral foreign operations and foreign entities and
all assets and liabilities of foreign operations must be translated from their  
respective functional currencies into the group"s presentation currency using   
the year-end exchange rates, and their income and expenses using the average    
exchange rates. Gains or losses resulting from translation of functional        
currencies to the presentation currency must be included as a separate component
of shareholders" equity.                                                        
Proportionate consolidation of Afdis Holdings (Private) Limited (50%)           
Afdis Holdings (Private) Limited, a company registered in Zimbabwe, was not     
previously consolidated under SA GAAP due to the severe currency and long-term  
restrictions which significantly impaired its ability to transfer funds to its  
shareholders.                                                                   
In accordance with IFRS, the exemption to not consolidate an entity due to      
severe currency and long-term restrictions is prohibited and as a result this   
entity is now required to be proportionately consolidated in accordance with IAS
31 "Interest in Joint Ventures". Under this method, the group includes its share
of the joint ventures" individual income and expenses, assets and liabilities in
the relevant components of the financial statements on a line-by-line-basis.    
This accounting policy is consistent with the accounting of all other joint     
ventures within the Distell Group.                                              
The functional currency of Afdis Holdings (Private) Limited is the currency of a
hyperinflationary economy (Zimbabwe) and the financial statements of this entity
is translated and consolidated into the presentation currency of the group in   
accordance with IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" and 
IAS 21.                                                                         
Reclassifications                                                               
Previously the group disclosed computer software as part of property, plant and 
equipment. This balance has now been re-classified to intangible assets in      
accordance with IAS 38 "Intangible Assets".
