Press Release Summary: Yo-Fro Chain’s Agreement with Orbiz Corporation Plans 7 New
Locations Down Under over Next 12 Months, First Opening in December ‘08

Press Release Body: Yogen Früz, a frozen yogurt chain with 1,100 stores in over 20
countries, announced today that it has entered into a newly signed development
agreement with Orbiz Corporation Pty Ltd. that will expand the franchise by 30
locations into Australia over the span of the agreement, beginning with a December
store opening in Brisbane and 6 more projected openings for the next 6-12 months.

Orbiz Corporation Pty Ltd. will bring its successful retailing experience, multi
business management skill, and strong food background into this relationship, which
Yogen Fruz expects to be very successful.

“Australia is a continent we’ve been hoping to expand to for a few years, but we
hadn’t found the right franchisee for the job until we began discussion with Orbiz
Corporation Pty Ltd.,” mentioned Aaron Serruya, co-founder of Yogen Früz. “The team
at Orbiz brings a strong background, as well as an unparalleled business passion and
the belief that this brand can thrive under their leadership.”

Yogen Früz’s signature create-your-own yogurt/fruit blends are made from a
combination of low-fat, non-fat or no-sugar-added frozen yogurt and any of 16
varieties of flash-frozen fresh fruit, mixed in the company’s proprietary machines
while customers watch. Low-fat and non-fat yogurt (as well as the dairy smoothies)
are packed with added probiotic cultures that have been shown to promote a healthy
digestive system, improve mineral absorption, fortify the immune system, manage
lactose intolerance and even help lower cholesterol.

“Yogen Früz’s growth over the past year is proof enough that the company offers a
great product and quality service and promotes healthy living,” commented Jenelle
Moloney, Managing Director of Orbiz Corporation Pty Ltd. “We are happy to be part of
such a recognized fro-yo industry name and believe this will be a fruitful
relationship for both parties.”
