Franchise Services of North America Inc. Announces Filing of its Financial Results for the Year Ended September 30, 2007

    CALGARY, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - FRANCHISE SERVICES OF NORTH
 AMERICA INC. ("FSNA" or the "Company") announced today that it has filed
 audited annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended
 September 30, 2007 ("the 2007 Annual Financial Statements"). Revenue for
 the combined period was US $18,180,802, and Net Income was US $489,738.
 These 2007 Annual Financial Statements include thirteen months of U-Save's
 results and ten months of Practicar Systems, Inc. due to the November, 2006
 Business Combination Transaction ("BCT") between U-Save Auto Rental of
 America, Inc. and the predecessor company, Rent-A-Wreck Capital Inc.
 Reference is made to the Company's public filings which are available on
 line at www.sedar.com, which contain a detailed description of the BCT and
 related financial information.
 
     On January 28, 2008, FSNA announced that it had delayed the filing of
 its 2007 Annual Financial Statements, which were, pursuant to applicable
 Canadian securities laws, required to be filed no later than January 28,
 2008. As a result, cease trade orders were issued by the Alberta Securities
 Commission, the British Columbia Securities Commission and the Ontario
 Securities Commission. The Toronto Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") also
 suspended trading in the Company's common shares. Application is being made
 to each of the above-noted securities commissions and to the TSX-V to have
 the cease trade orders rescinded.
 
     "The 2007 Annual Financial Statements are the first set of annual
 financial statements to be prepared following the completion by the Company
 of a cross-border reverse take-over transaction in late 2006. The delay in
 filing the statements related in part to the challenge of combining FSNA's
 United States and Canadian operations, as well as conforming financial
 periods and accounting standards" said Robert M. Barton, Chief Operating
 Officer of the Company.
