Central Canada Foods Finalizes Terms of Related Party Transaction.

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario -- Central Canada Foods Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CDF.A) has agreed to lease terms for its Timberlea plant from 1469818 Ontario Inc., a company controlled by George Michaels, Central's president and majority shareholder in a related party transaction. The agreement was finalized on September 22, 2005.

Central Canada will be the sole tenant and lease the plant for a ten-year period beginning October 18, 2004 at an annual rental cost of $270,000. Central Canada also has an option to acquire the plant at cost for the duration of the lease.

Prior to the purchase of the plant by 1469818 Ontario Inc. in October 2004, Central Canada had assigned the right to purchase the plant for $1,775,000 to 1469818 Ontario Inc. because the purchase of the plant with a mortgage of $1.7 million could potentially have put Central Canada at risk of breaching covenants associated with its line of credit.

The independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company have unanimously approved the lease agreement and believe that that Central Canada is exempt from a formal valuation because at the time the transaction was agreed to, neither the fair market value of the property nor the lease, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves related parties, exceeds 25 per cent of Central Canada's market capitalization.

The 23,000 sq. ft. plant is expected to increase production capacity three fold and allow Central to expand its sales to both domestic and export customers.
