Los Angeles, CA, February 22, 2010 – For the second year in a row, leading
education franchise Mathnasium Learning Centers ranked in the Top 50 Franchises
for Franchise Business Review’s annual Franchisee Satisfaction Awards. Notably,
Mathnasium was the only supplemental academic instruction franchise ranked in the
Midsize Systems category and was ranked third in the Child Services category.

“While we at corporate headquarters provide the foundational business model and
educational methodology, our franchisees represent the heart of our organization,”
says Mathnasium President Peter Markovitz. “The fact that our center owners have
responded so favorably despite the troubled economy demonstrates our commitment
to providing these entrepreneurs with the tools and support they need to succeed, as
well as the integrity of our product and the Mathnasium business opportunity.”

Every year, Franchise Business Review surveys over 100,000 franchisees from
leading franchise brands to select the winners of the Franchisee Satisfaction Awards.
Franchisees answer a variety of questions about their experiences as business
owners, covering topics including training and support, franchisor relationship,
profitability and overall satisfaction. Says Franchise Business Review President Eric
Stites, “This year’s award-winning franchises … represent the very best franchise
opportunity investments in the marketplace today.”

Earning this award is another feather in the cap for Mathnasium. Last year, the
franchise benefited from explosive growth, opening 54 units throughout 2009.
