SYLMAR, California and JOHANNESBURG, October 29, 2010 - Anthony, a portfolio company of Los Angeles-based investment firm Aurora
Capital Group, announced this month that it has completed its licensing
agreement with Glacier, a business unit of Universal Industries.

Anthony is a leader in the U.S. commercial refrigeration industry and the
world's largest manufacturer of specialty glass, commercial glass
refrigerator and freezer doors, case lighting, and display and merchandising
systems. Glacier, a subsidiary of Universal Industries, is South Africa's
leader in normal temp, beverage doors, and package doors for the commercial
refrigeration industry. Glacier and Anthony will strengthen Universal's
efforts to penetrate South African, African, and Indian refrigeration
markets.

Jeffrey Clark, President and Chief Executive Officer of Anthony, stated,
"This strategic licensing agreement accelerates our global commitment to
continue as the world's leader in refrigeration specialty glass for the South
African, African, and Indian markets. We have maintained an excellent
relationship with Universal's management for more than 25 years, and this
licensing agreement will only propel our relationship further. With our North
American retailers' globalization, this makes available Anthony's high
quality products worldwide."

This licensing agreement provides for Glacier to manufacture Anthony's
state-of-the-art, energy-efficient door line, LED lighting systems, anti-fog
doors and specialty glass for these international markets. This arrangement
allows Glacier to have a complete offering in the commercial refrigeration
specialty glass market.
