To all YF sufferers - just got back from the meeting

2 free T-sheets, 1 cooler tote bag, and some new products
(in retrospect - freakin expense freebies)

I have 10 pages of notes and there is the release that I haven't read yet. (no need to repeat)

Some comments off the top of my head:

Ambitious 3 year Plan
Major re-structuring slated for Yogen Fruz operations
All yogurt companies lost money in 1999
IB carried YF in 1999
EPIE - nothing new to report
CoolBrands International Inc. was approved to the Mar 15 meeting
Hedging in place for buttermilk - upto 25% of 1-year horizon
Hedging slated for foreign exchange
Keeping close eye on soya
Smoothies is the future product
Pez to target kids with Pez Pops
Tropicana licence extended 5 years more - to 17 years
Tropicana to be Brand Name - sitting 4th after Pepsi, Coke Cola and Cambells - up from 6th 2 years ago
Comments on a YF takeover - No comment and no truth to the rumours (where have we heard that before)
France and UK are major International targets

Will post more later
