Torbay Holdings Signs Digital Download Contract with Global iTunes Media Distributor

MINEOLA, N.Y. --(Business Wire)-- Jan. 5, 2006 -- Torbay Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:TRBY) announced today that it has signed a Digital Download Agreement with AWAL (UK) Ltd, a global distributor of digital media to iTunes(TM) and other media providers. Under the terms of the agreement, AWAL will distribute Torbay's Relaxmoor(TM) and iRelaxmoor(TM) (iTunes(TM) version) products, which extend the functionality and user experience of the Company's existing pc-based Brakemoor(TM) product to personal media devices such as the iPod(TM) and other MP3 players. The initial Digital Distribution Agreement relates to audio versions of Relaxmoor(TM), ahead of signing a video licensing agreement, which AWAL is currently awaiting from Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL).

Based in Sheffield, United Kingdom, AWAL is a rapidly growing company that specializes in the aggregation, encoding and sale of music and spoken word content through digital music service providers such as iTunes(TM), Napster(R) (Nasdaq:NAPS), HMV(TM) and Virgin(TM). AWAL has been delivering a diverse range of music to iTunes(TM), in particular, since November 2004.

The Relaxmoor(TM) products, designed as a tool for adults with busy lifestyles, will provide users with identical "user relaxation experience capabilities" on both their computers and mobile devices and is a part of Torbay's total "anti-fatigue" strategy, a new business genre that the Company has dubbed, "Relax on the Run." Relaxmoor(TM) seeks to extend the market for and awareness of TRBY's Anti.Fatigue(TM) hardware and software products, while having the potential to generate revenue of its own. Initial Relaxmoor(TM) versions have been tested by business and leisure travelers on airplanes and by subjects who have difficulty in sleeping in hotels and have met with rave reviews.

President & CEO of Torbay Holdings, Tom Large, commented: "We are delighted to be working with AWAL to gain a foothold in the global iTunes(TM) download arena. All iTunes(TM) users utilize a pointing device, like a computer mouse of some description to purchase their download from the online store. This is where synergies between our existing business and the Relaxmoor(TM) product become plainly obvious. We believe that exposure of Relaxmoor(TM) on iTunes(TM) as well as other download sites will provide momentum for our Anti.Fatigue(TM) concept, establishing a direct link to our other hardware and software products." He continued, "We have engaged the services of a therapist to advise us on the relaxation aspects of both Brakemoor(TM) and Relaxmoor(TM). This investment is on the basis of early feedback that suggests we may have a unique opportunity before us. We will be investigating voices and vocabulary options for their impact upon the state of relaxation of users relative to personality types. The empirical data collected from our studies support a sound investment thesis in this direction. We will provide various media experiences and choices for recovery and relaxation that will engage users, both in audio, video and mixed mediums. Once the initial library is built we will then introduce language options."
