Golden Krust has survived 2010 and now stands at the threshold of 2011 though not unscathed by the crisis created by an unstable economy.

The challenges of the current era have prompted us to think innovatively.

We are resolved more than ever, to maintain a strong brand image,utilizing the resources at our disposal, to ensure that Golden Krust con-tinues to be the brand of choice when it comes to Caribbean cuisine.

The popular English proverb “when the going gets tough, the toughgets going" summarizes the past year very well which was characterizedby both growth and decline. However the challenges taught us to domore with less – we managed to realize higher productivity even with asmaller work force by increasing manufacturing efficiencies. Re-trainingemployees in the art of multi-tasking, cutting back on waste, utiliz-ing the newest technologies in inventory management and implement-ing a stringent quality assurance system helped us to remain afloat.The addition of several new products also increased institutional sales,and provided an impetus for future growth.

Our franchisees were empowered to develop local store marketing initia-tives geared at improving sales performance under the careful guidance ofour Marketing & Operations team who have been finding creative waysto build brand awareness and increase customer loyalty with the imple-mentation of several local store marketing initiatives. For the year ahead,we intend to continue this drive and encourage more of our franchiseesto buy-in to this very cost efficient but effective means of increasing sales.

Giving back to the community has always been our philosophy. I wantto especially thank the many franchisees who jumped on board and per-formed unselfish acts of kindness, many times on their own initiative, tomeet needs in their community. This was demonstrated in large part overThanksgiving when several of our franchisees prepared and served over1000 meals across the five boroughs of New York.

Many of our franchsees are also actively involved with educationalthrusts within their neighborhoods, providing incentives to motivate chil-dren to excel at school. With the help of our customers and franchiseeswe were also able to provide scholarships to twelve students with thefunds collected in our Pennies for Change drive.I believe this kind ofphilanthropic spirit is not only good for business today, but will reapinvaluable returns in the years to come.

In addition to our unrelenting marketing and public relations efforts,our Research & Development Department continuously strives to create

new products to add to our breakfast menu line-up. This day-part isgenerally underserved in most restaurants and the pressure is now on tofind an affordable yet nutritious product that will fall into the grab-n-goconcept. I believe very soon we will be able to roll out a more extensivebreakfast patty line-up within our franchise division.

I am very excited about the recent developments taking place with ournewly expanded sauce product line. Our research has shown that the wetcondiment category in the United States is an explosive and growing cat-egory just waiting to be tapped. Golden Krust intends to launch a newHot Pepper Sauce, a Jerk Sauce, Island-Flavored Ketchup and HoneyJerk Barbecue Sauce. We are confident that we have all the right ele-ments in place to make a serious dent in that category. The sauces will belaunched in mid- January and will be available for purchase within ourfranchise locations and on-line from the company’s website.

On the retail front, our frozen patties continue to gain footholds inmajor supermarkets - the latest of which has been our entrance into theShop-Rite chain which has 220 locations across the North East USA.Serious attention is being paid to the development of this arm of thecompany, driven by our vision of “taking the taste of the Caribbean to the world.”

We anticipate that 2011 will be a significant year with easier accessibilityto the “world’s best tasting” Golden Krust patties all over the UnitedStates. “Bye-bye burgers, pass on the pizza, forget the franks….anytime ispatty time!” has been our marketing theme which can be seen in newlydesigned television commercials, print ads and collateral pieces.

"While 2010 had its challenges, there were many upsides which motivat-ed us to keep forging ahead. There are several new stores to be opened inthe first quarter of 2011, primarily in the South Florida region and weare exploring expansion to Chicago and Canada in the near future. Wewill not give up and we will not give in. We have a "tough" bunch ofentrepreneurs and employees who we can count on to take Golden Krustto greater heights of success. On behalf of the GK Founders - Lloyd,Lauris, Jacqueline, Milton, Velma and my wife Lorna I wish to thank ourcustomers, franchisees and the dedicated staff who make the GoldenKrust organization a great place to work, partner and a home away from home"

Meeting the challenges ahead!

YES!Golden Krust

Continues to Support Education.

In spite of economic conditions...

In the face of a difficult global business environment, which has resulted in

many companies being forced to cut spending on philanthropic activities, Golden Krust has remained committed to

investing in education" so said President and CEO of Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery & Grill - Lowell Hawthorne. He

further added that "cutting back on education is equal

to ripping hope and opportunity from our nation's

youths which has never been and will never be an

option for his franchise chain."

"Weare particularly honored to beinvolved in the fight against breast cancer which affectsalmost every household in America." Says LowellHawthorne, President & CEO. According to the statis-tics, one woman in eight who lives to age 85 will devel-op breast cancer during her lifetime and every two min-utes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. The harshreality is that women in the United States develop breastcancer more than any other type of cancer except forskin cancer.

For the entire month of October, Golden Krust embarked upon a Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign within its entire fran-chise chain under the banner "Eat for the Cause". For every Golden Krust chicken patty purchased within the month of October,three percent (3%) of that sale will be donated to the American Cancer Society. The color of the Golden Krust chicken patty bagshave also been changed to pink to help bring added excitement and exposure to the campaign. Company executives and customersalso joined the throng of survivors and well-wishers in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk that was held on October 17 atOrchard Beach in the Bronx.Free Golden Krust t-shirtswere given to persons who hadregistered to walk with theGolden Krust Pink Team onthe day. Over 8000 personsturned up to show solidaritywith the cause at OrchardBeach which was the perfectsetting for a beautiful and crisp autumn morning.

Golden Krust Joins The Fight AgainstBreast CancerGolden Krust joined forces with the American Cancer Society during the month of October toraise the level of awareness among the Caribbean & African American communities about thedreaded disease - breast cancer. This marks the third year that the company has deliberatelysought to align itself with this cause.

With the help of all its customers the company hopes to raise a substantial amount of money which will be used to spread knowledge and foster hope in the fight against breast cancer. Everydollar donated will be used by the American Cancer Society to fundresearch programs aimed at discovering treatments to improvebreast cancer survival and reduce recurrence. Golden Krust is com-mitted to continuing its support of the American Cancer Society asthey work assiduously to create a world with more birthdays -where cancer never steals another year from anyone's life.

Here are answers to a list of frequently asked questions adapted from the National Breast Cancer Foundation's website:

nationalbreastcancer.org

Can physical activity reduce the risk of breast cancer?Exercise pumps up the immune system and lowers estrogen levels.With as little as four hours of exercise per week, a woman can begin to lowerher risk of breast cancer.

Can a healthy diet help prevent breast cancer?A nutritious, low-fat diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can helpreduce the risk of developing breast cancer. A high-fat diet increases therisk because fat triggers estrogen production that can fuel tumor growth.

Does smoking cause breast cancer?At this point in time there is no conclusive link between smoking andbreast cancer. However, due to the number of health risks associated withsmoking, quitting can significantly increase survival rates.

Can drinking alcohol increase the risk of breast cancer?One or two drinks a day has been shown to slightly increase the risk ofbreast cancer. The greater the levels consumed, the higher the risk.

Is there a link between oral contraceptives and breast cancer?There is an increased risk of breast cancer for women under 35 who havebeen using birth control pills for more than ten years.

How often should I do a breast self-exam (BSE)?Give yourself a breast self-exam at least once a month. Look for anychanges in breast tissue, such as changes in size, a lump, dimpling or puckering of the breast, or a discharge from the nipple. If you discover apersistent lump in your breast or any changes in breast tissue, it is veryimportant that you see a physician immediately.

However, 8 out of 10 lumps are benign, or not cancerous. Does a family history of breast cancer put someone at a higher risk? If you have a grandmother, mother, sister, or daughter who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, this does put you in a higher risk group.Have a baseline mammogram at least five years before the age of breastcancer onset in any close relatives, or starting at age 35. See your physician at any sign of unusual symptoms.

FAQ’S

Are Mammograms Painful?Mammography does compress the breasts and can sometimes cause slightdiscomfort for a very brief period of time. Patients who are sensitive shouldschedule their mammograms a week after their menstrual cycle so that thebreasts are less tender.

How does menstrual and reproductive history affect breast cancer risks? Women who began their menstrual cycles before age 12, have no children,or had their first child at 30 or older, or began menopause after 55 are ata higher risk.

How Often Should I Go To My Doctor For A Checkup?You should have a physical every year. If any unusual symptoms orchanges in your breasts occur before your scheduled visit, do not hesitate tosee the doctor immediately.

What Kind of Impact Does Stress Have On Breast Cancer?Although some studies have shown that factors such as traumatic eventsand losses can alter immune system functions, these studies have not pro-vided any evidence of a direct cause-and-effect relationship between stressand breast cancer. An area currently being studied is whether or not stressreduction can improve immune response and slow progression in womendiagnosed with breast cancer.

Page 12: Golden Krust News, trends and events 2011- Jerk Chicken and Fast Food Restaurants

The company has also developed 2 new additions to the condiment line as part of its go-to-market strategy. The wet condi-ment line that will soon be available in GK restaurants and eventually every major supermarket and chain stores include thetried and proven hot pepper sauce and jerk sauce coupled with thenew Island Flavored Ketchup and a Honey Barbecue Jerk Sauce.

Taste tests have confirmed that these new prod-ucts are superior in taste and are poised to stealsignificant market share away from the competi-tion.

Sales of GK's micro-waveable2 and 10 pack Beef Patties have also increased

tremendously over the past year with moregrowth anticipated as the product gains entranceinto many major retail outlets nationwide.Golden Krust packaged delights are nowproudly displayed in several frozen food islesin chains stores such as Costco, Pathmark,Shoprite, Shoppers, Jewel Osco, Acme, Food4Less, Price Chopper, Woodmans and a host ofindependent supermarkets, covering a wide rangeof states.

For 2011 we are expecting that GK's retail division will expandexplosively as a result of the overwhelming amount of new distribution outlets projected to come on board. There is nostopping the retail segment as the company intends to aggres-sively market its products to institutions, supermarket chains and will eventually be venturing outside the national market. The company's vision is to take the taste of the Caribbean to the world.

How does the company plan to do this? "Throughresearch and development of new products" says President LowellHawthorne. Over the years in addition to its famous patties andbaked goods, the company has quietly but qualitatively manufac-tured its own branded recipe of jerk sauces, hot pepper sauce andjerk seasonings, sold within its 120 franchise locations.

The wet condiment category in the UnitedStates is estimated as a $158 million dollarindustry with projections for further growth.Golden Krust is determined to carve out asignificant piece of that pie. The trendtowards convenience foods, higher demandfor exotic cuisine and innovative packagingcontinue to drive demand for food accompani-ments and ingredients such as condiments andsauces. Added to the exposure caused by thechanging ethnic mix of national populations,people are journeying abroad in ever-increas-ing numbers and broadening their food hori-zons.

In addition, consumers have become morethrifty in their spending which is good newsfor the condiment and cooking sauce categoryas the sting of tough economic times have forced the market to cutback on spending. With customers eating out less and trying theirhands at restaurant quality, home-cooked meals, condiment andsauce vendors will attract new customers and retain existing cus-tomers by introducing tasty and diverse flavor profiles in onemulti-use product. Golden Krust intends to capitalize on thisgrowing trend by launching it's sauces in the mainstream retailarena.

Something Exciting & New is

Always Cooking in GK's Retail Division.

Leveraging its strong brand equity and the success of its frozen retail packages in supermarkets and chain stores along the north-east and mid-west regions of the United Sates, Golden Krust is committed to establishing a firm footing in the retail market over the coming years.

As National Caribbean American Heritage Month marked its 5th Anniversary, Golden Krust -the nation's largest Caribbean franchise chain made history

It celebrated the month in its own unique way with the

staging of a musical float parade throughout the streets of

Brooklyn on June 26, 2010. The festivities kicked off at

10am at 7 Flatbush Ave at the chain's first ever Brooklyn loca-

tion and ended at 9pm with the last stop at 998 Flatbush Ave. The brightly decorated Golden Krust float captured the

attention of customers, well-wishers, commuters and pedestrians as the truck drove through the neighborhoods and

commercial districts of the busy borough making brief stops at each of its locations. Live music was provided by K.C.

- "the Caribbean James Brown of Soca" Band. Customers were also treated to free cocktail beef patties, branded key-

rings and t-shirts on the day as part of the celebration.

Golden Krust's musical treat was a welcome diversion for Brooklyn residents as they went about their usual business on

the busy weekend. One customer remarked that the float reminded him of the popular West Indian Day parade held in

Brooklyn each year. At each stop "Brooklynites" stopped to gawk, take pictures of the float, or dance to the pulsating

rhythms while they interacted with the contingent from GK's Corporate headquarters who came out in full support of

the festivities. Diane Johnson - Ms. Jamaica USA also joined in on the festivities as she rode the float, much to the

delight of her adoring fans.

GK's Marketing & PR Manager - Candice Richards said that the company thought it fitting to stage this celebration to mark the significance of Caribbean American Heritage Month and also to say thanks to all itsvalued customers in Brooklyn - which is home to the majority of Golden Krust locations.

The implementation of Caribbean American Heritage Month inour nation's history was initiated by Congresswoman BarbaraLee who wanted to formally recognize the significance ofCaribbean people and their descendants in the history and cul-ture of the United States. Since the resolution's passage in theHouse of Representatives, the White House has issued an annualproclamation recognizing June as Caribbean-American HeritageMonth, beginning in 2006 with President George W. Bush.President Barack Obama in his offical address issued on May 28,2010 said “ we celebrate the triumph of Caribbean Americans, a diverse community that encompasses manynationalities and languages. They have become leaders in every sector of American life while maintaining thevaried traditions of their countries of origin. Caribbean Americans enrich our national character and strength-en the fabric of our culture, and we are proud they are part of the American family."

Golden Krust intends to renew its celebration of Caribbean American Heritage Month by staging similarparades throughout the different regions in which it is located. Stay tuned for more details.

President Barack Obama in his officialaddress issued on May 28, 2010 said "we celebrate the triumph of CaribbeanAmericans, a diverse community that

encompasses many nationalities and languages.

Control your thermostat:Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and afew degrees higher in the summer to save on heating andcooling costs. Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)when your older incandescent bulbs burn out. Unplug appli-ances when you're not using them. Or, use a "smart" powerstrip that senses when appliances are off and cuts energy use.Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes toheating the water.

Save water to save money. Take shorter showers to reduce water use and lower yourwater and heating bills. Install a low-flow showerhead. Makesure you have a faucet aerator on each faucet. These inexpen-sive appliances conserve heat and water, while keeping waterpressure high.

Conserve energy:Walk or bike to work. This Saves on gas and improve yourcardiovascular health. Consider telecommuting if you live farfrom your work. Or move closer. Even if this means payingmore rent, it could save you money in the long term. Lobbyyour local government to increase spending on sidewalks andbike lanes. With little cost, these improvements can pay hugedividends in bettering your health and reducing traffic.

Eat smart. If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week. Try a GoldenKrust vegetable, spinach or soy patty or even a large servingof our steamed vegetables as a flavorful substitute to meatMeat costs a lot at the store - and it's even more expensivewhen you consider the related environmental and healthcosts. Buy locally raised, humane, and organic meat, eggs,and dairy whenever you can. Purchasing from local farmerskeeps money in the local economy.

Skip the bottled water:Use a water filter to purify tap water instead of buying bot-tled water. Bottled water expensive and it generates largeamounts of container waste. Bring a reusable water bottle,with you when traveling or at work.

Think before you buy: Go online to find new or gently used secondhand products.Consider a service like craigslist or FreeSharing to track downfurniture, appliances, and other items cheaply or for free.Check out garage sales, thrift stores, and consignment shopsfor clothing and other everyday items. When making purchas-es, make sure you know what's "Good Stuff" and what isn't.

Borrow instead of buying: Borrow from libraries instead of buying personal books andmovies. This saves money, not to mention the ink and paperthat goes into printing new books. Share power tools andother appliances. Get to know your neighbors while cuttingdown on the number of things cluttering your closet orgarage.

Keep electronics out of the trash:Keep your cell phones, computers, and other electronics aslong as possible. Donate or recycle them responsibly whenthe time comes. E-waste contains mercury and other toxicsand is a growing environmental problem. Recycle your cellphone. Ask your local government to set up an electronicsrecycling and hazardous waste collection event.

Make your own cleaning supplies:You can make very effective, non-toxic cleaning productswhenever you need them. All you need are a few simpleingredients like baking soda, vinegar, lemon, and soap.Making your own cleaning products saves money, time, andpackaging-not to mention your indoor air quality.

A greener, more sustainable earth

HelloWorld!

Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specif-ic groups.The internet is filled with millions of individuals who arelooking to meet other people, to gather and share first-hand informa-tion and experiences about golfing, gar-dening, developing friendships or pro-fessional alliances, finding employment,business-to-business marketing andeven groups sharing information.Thetopics and interests are as varied andrich as the story of our world.

Social networking websites functionlike an online community of internetusers. Depending on the website in question, many of these onlinecommunity members share common interests in hobbies, religion, orpolitics. Once you are granted access to a social networking websiteyou can begin to socialize. This socialization may include reading theprofile pages of other members and possibly even contacting them.

The internet gives individuals from all around the world access tosocial networking sites. This means that although you are in theUnited States, you could develop an online friendship with someonein Denmark or India. Not only will you make new friends, but youjust might learn a thing or two about new cultures or new languagesand learning is always a good thing.

While there are a number of social networking websites that focuson particular interests, there are others that do not. The websiteswithout a main focus are often referred to as "traditional" social net-working websites and usually have open memberships. This meansthat anyone can become a member, no matter what their hobbies,beliefs, or views are. However, once you are inside this online com-munity, you can begin to create your own network of friends andeliminate members that do not share common interests or goals.

There are dangers associated with social networking includingdata theft and viruses, which are on the rise. The most prevalentdanger though often involves online predators or individuals whoclaim to be someone that they are not. Although danger does existwith networking online, it also exists in the real world, You are

advised to proceed with caution online.By being aware of your cyber-surround-ings and who you are talking to, youshould be able to safely enjoy social net-working online. It will take many phoneconversations to get to know someone,but you really won't be able to make aclear judgement until you can meet eachother in person. Use common sense andlisten to your inner voice.

Golden Krust has entered the social network by establishing itsvery own Facebook account. We invite you to find us on facebookor follow us on twitter @goldenkrustbkry.
