Avian Capital Media Release

As many of you know, Parmasters Golf Training Centers Inc., our franchisor, is in the final stages of becoming a publicly traded company. They’re conducting a reverse takeover (RTO) of an existing capital pool company (CPC). This transaction involves many different jurisdictions, regulatory bodies and companies. As such, it’s complicated, and the process has been arduous.

The benefit at the end of the tunnel, of course, is Parmasters’ increased ability to raise capital and grow the entire business, to the benefit of all franchise owners and centers, including Parmasters Kitchener-Waterloo.

Avian Capital Inc. is the company that Parmasters is working with on the RTO. Avian issued the media release that follows back in early December.

Make it a great day! For yes, you do have the power to do so! The media release follows.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management filing statement or addendum thereto to be prepared in connection with the transaction, any information released or received with respect to the transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain information in this news release is forward-looking within the meaning of certain securities laws, and is subject to important risks, uncertainties and assumptions. This forward-looking information includes, among other things, information with respect to Avian's beliefs, plans, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions, such as Avian's acquisition of Parmasters by way of the Merger, the completion of the private placements by Parmasters and the activities of Avian and Parmasters after the Merger. The words "may", "could", "should", "would", "suspect", "outlook", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "plan", "target" and similar words and expressions are used to identify forward-looking information. The forward-looking information in this news release describes Avian's expectations as of the date of this news release.

The results or events anticipated or predicted in such forward-looking information may differ materially from actual results or events. Material factors which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from a conclusion, forecast or projection in such forward-looking information include, among others, risks arising from general economic conditions and adverse industry events. In addition, Parmasters' franchisees are independent businesses and, as a result, their operations may be negatively affected by factors beyond Parmasters' control which in turn may damage Parmasters' reputation and could negatively affect Parmasters' financial condition and performance. Revenues and earnings would also be negatively affected, and Parmasters' reputation could be harmed, if a significant number of franchisees were to: experience operational failures; experience financial difficulty; be unwilling or unable to pay Parmasters for any fees; or fail to enter into renewals of franchise agreements. Parmasters' brand recognition will be an important factor in developing and maintaining its competitive position. No assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially similar branding. In addition, Parmasters relies on one or more of the following to protect its proprietary rights: trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures, and contractual provisions. Despite Parmasters' efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to obtain and use information that Parmasters regards as proprietary. Stopping unauthorized use of Parmasters' proprietary rights may be difficult, time-consuming and costly. There can be no assurance that Parmasters will be successful in protecting its proprietary rights and, if it is not, its business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Parmasters' franchise system is also subject to franchise laws and regulations enacted by a number of provinces. Any new legislation or failure to comply with existing legislation may negatively affect operations, and could add administrative costs and burdens associated with these regulations, all of which could affect Parmasters' relationship with its franchisees. Parmaster's current assets consist primarily of accounts receivable in the aggregate amount of CDN$2,253,842 as of July 31, 2009 and the collection of such accounts receivable is required in order for the Resulting Issuer to remain solvent for the next 12 months.

Avian cautions that the foregoing list of material factors is not exhaustive. When relying on forward-looking information to make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Avian has assumed that the material factors referred to in the previous paragraph will not cause such forward-looking information to differ materially from actual results or events. However, the list of these factors is not exhaustive and is subject to change and there can be no assurance that such assumptions will reflect the actual outcome of such items or factors.

THE FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS NEWS RELEASE REPRESENTS THE EXPECTATIONS OF AVIAN AS OF THE DATE OF THIS NEWS RELEASE AND, ACCORDINGLY, IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AFTER SUCH DATE. READERS SHOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE IMPORTANCE ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT RELY UPON THIS INFORMATION AS OF ANY OTHER DATE. WHILE AVIAN MAY ELECT TO, IT DOES NOT UNDERTAKE TO UPDATE THIS INFORMATION AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME.
