NOKA CHOCOLATE INTRODUCES INNOVATIVE KEEPSAKE PACKAGING

DALLAS, January 3, 2007 – NOKA Chocolate, ranked ‘#1 luxury chocolate in the world’ by the
food editors of TASTE, today introduced new packaging for its Encore Boxes™. With a
hinged, telescoping lid, NOKA Chocolate’s new black and silver Encore Box™ is a keepsake
that will serve as a reminder of the gift of fine chocolate for years to come.

Presentation is an important element of the NOKA Chocolate experience. Each NOKA
Chocolate gift is an experience that begins with unique and elegantly designed gift boxes
and encourages an appreciation by all the senses including the look, aroma, flavor and
texture of our chocolates and truffles.

“The NOKA Chocolate experience takes into
account the entire ceremony of gift giving,
and this begins with our unique packaging,”
said Noah Houghton, president of NOKA
Chocolate. “By redesigning our Encore Boxes™
as a keepsake, we ensure that magical
moments and memories can be enjoyed long
into the future by both the person who gives
the gift of NOKA Chocolate and by the person
who receives the gift.”

Just as NOKA’s couverture, from which it handcrafts its dark chocolates and truffles, is
made to the Company’s strict specifications, with NOKA specifying the source ingredients,
the region from which the ingredients are sourced and the process by which the
couverture is made, so too must the Company’s packaging meet the highest standards of
quality.

The new Encore Boxes™ will continue to present NOKA Chocolate’s Vintages Collection™, a
compilation of the finest single-estate dark chocolates, and The Grand Cru Collection™,
handcrafted truffles made with rare, single-estate dark chocolate and fresh organic cream.
Mixed collections are also available. The Vintages Collection™ is available in the following
sizes: 4-piece, 12-piece, 24-piece, 48-piece and 96-piece. The Grand Cru Collection™ is
available in 2-piece, 8-piece, 16-piece and 24-piece sizes.

In addition to the redesigned Encore Boxes™, NOKA presents its truffles and chocolates in
captivating handcrafted stainless-steel Signature Boxes™.

Prices range from $16 to $234.
