  OPEN LETTER FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

OF

QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANT HOLDINGS PTY LTD

It is with great pleasure that I announce that on Wednesday the 18th July 2007 Quick Service Restaurant Holdings Pty. Ltd. completed the purchase of Oporto Australia for $60M.

The Board and Management of QSR Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary Australian Fast Foods (Red Rooster and Chicken Treat) believe that there will be substantial mutual benefits in acquiring Oporto, a substantial brand on the Eastern States of Australia satisfying the niche market offering grilled chicken and burger products. Oporto has become a significant player in the fast food industry with a strong brand profile and growth. The expanded group will now serve in excess of 60 million customers per annum and employ more than 14,000 staff through its company and franchise network.

The Oporto business will add 104 Franchise and Corporate operated outlets to our current 371 Red Rooster and 65 Chicken Treat stores, creating a wholly owned Australian group totalling 540 outlets. More growth is planned for each brand with over 50 new stores budgeted to open in the 2008 financial year. QSR Holdings is committed to growing the group to over 700 outlets by 2010 with a strong focus on accelerating growth through franchise opportunities.

The board members of QSR, AFF and Oporto are:

Chris Hadley : Non Executive Director/ Chairman

Frank Romano : Managing Director

Marcus Darville : Non Executive Director

Mark Lindsay : Director / Chief Operating Officer

The three businesses will continue to be run in the same manner, each will continue to be directed and operated by their existing management teams. I am pleased to announce the promotion of Mark Lindsay (formerly the CFO of AFF) to the position of Chief Operating Officer of QSR Holdings and Ralph Bergmann to the position of Chief Financial Officer. Mark will be working closely with me on the strategic growth and development of the QSR Group.

Your individual contribution to QSR Holdings/Australian Fast Foods has and will continue to be of great importance to our group’s future plans and we look forward to sharing with you our exciting future.

Frank Romano Managing Director of QSR Holdings

RFG TO ACQUIRE BRUMBY’S SHARES

Retail Food Group Limited (“RFG”) advises that, consistent with its Bidder’s Statement dated 17 May 2007, it intends to compulsorily acquire those shares in Brumby’s Bakeries Holdings Limited (“Brumby’s”) in respect to which it did not receive acceptances during the offer period applicable to RFG’s recent off market bid to acquire all of the shares in Brumby’s.

RFG lodged a Notice of Compulsory Acquisition Following Takeover Bid with ASIC on 23rd July 2007.  The Notice was issued to those Brumby’s shareholders who did not accept RFG’s off market offer during the recently concluded offer period.

The sum of $3.40 will be paid for each Brumby’s share acquired pursuant to compulsory acquisition.

On 4 May 2007 RFG announced an off market bid for all of the shares in Brumby’s.  The bid consideration was $3.40 for each Brumby’s ordinary share and was not subject to any minimum acceptance conditions.

On 14 May 2007, the then Brumby’s Board of Directors unanimously recommended RFG’s offer in the absence of a superior bid.

On 9 July 2007 the former directors of Brumby’s resigned from their positions and RFG’s nominees were appointed to the Brumby’s Board of Directors in their stead.

The offer period relative to RFG’s offer ended at 5.00pm on the 18th July 2007.

As at 23 July 2007, RFG held a relevant interest in 12,870,863 Brumby’s shares (or 99.87% of the shares in Brumby’s).  As indicated above, RFG intends to compulsorily acquire the balance 16,983 Brumby’s shares (or 0.13% of the shares in Brumby’s) in respect to which acceptances were not received.

Retail Food Group is a leading Australian retail food brand manager and franchisor.  It is the franchisor and intellectual property owner of the Donut King and bb’s café systems.  As at 23 July 2007, there were a total of 288 Donut King outlets established in Australia with a further total of 71 bb’s café outlets established within Australia and New Zealand.

Brumby’s Bakeries Holdings Limited is the franchisor and intellectual property owner of the Brumby’s system.  As at 19 July 2007 there were a total of 321 Brumby’s outlets established in Australia and New Zealand.

Snap-on tools are a status symbol, a coveted product with a designer pedigree and a heritage spanning nearly a century. Snap-on’s range has since grown to encompass over 16,000 different products, from the smallest tool to entire workshop fit-outs, sold by over 5000 franchisees worldwide.

And the Snap-on franchise is as good as its product, with incredible franchisor support, ANZ start-up finance, free freight on your once-weekly stock delivery, exclusive territories, stock that appreciates over time, extensive training, no commercial leases and no royalties – ever!

It’s simple: franchisees buy products from the franchisor and sell them from a sophisticated mobile showroom, to the professional tool users in their territories. They pay a small monthly fee for the brand, systems, and franchisor support. Supply is simple, accounts are simple, marketing is simple, after-sales warranty is looked after by the franchisor and reporting requirements are negligible.

While there are currently 155 Snap-on franchisees operational in Australia and New Zealand, market potential is such that the opportunity remains ground floor.

Being your own boss is great but there’s more to it. You have to love what you do and be loved for it.

Become a Snap-on franchisee and LOVE YOUR WORK!
