(OTC Bulletin Board: TFRY - news) demonstrated its newest French fry vending machine at the Atlantic Coast Exposition (a vending industry show) held in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, May 3-6, 2001. The newest features of the second-generation vending machine include wireless communication of service and maintenance information enabling the operator to go to the machine on an ``as needed'' basis, saving both time and money. The management reporting feature allows the operator to view the number of vends, when vends occurred, inventory information and other relevant data on a remote access basis. The machine is equipped with a 12-inch flat-screen monitor that displays specific information to the customer during the vend cycle. The business tracking systems for the vending operators and the entertainment packages are Internet-based and can provide Internet access, along with a host of entertainment options directly to the customer. There are additional revenue opportunities by providing advertising and point-of-purchase capabilities. The monitor also provides the Real Estate location a forum to distribute information to its employees and customers. The Company intends to be socially responsible by providing community service announcements and other value-added information. Other enhancements for this next generation machine include a new on-board computer, which will save on the cost of the machine while providing a significant increase in functionally. There are other engineering modifications, which increase the machines' reliability and serviceability. The Company received a very positive reaction to its small to medium vending operator partnership program. The program will allow qualified operators access to Company-owned Tasty Fries vending machines to be placed at agreed upon locations and targeted to specific demographic profiles. The program is intended to increase the visibility of the Tasty Fries Brand while making machine availability more affordable for both the small and medium-sized vending operator.
