International Yogurt Inks Contract to Supply Seven-State Chain PR Newswire - March 23, 1999 08:17 Deal Valued at Approximately $1.3 Million PORTLAND, Ore., March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- International Yogurt Company, a manufacturer and wholesaler of frozen desserts and smoothies, said today that it has signed a two-year contract to supply its soft-serve frozen yogurt to a convenience store chain with 140 units. The new contract is with Maverik Country Stores, which is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has locations in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado. "Every store will display the YOCREAM(R) brand, and we anticipate that this new account will generate approximately $1.3 million in revenue over the next 12 to 18 months," said Tyler Bargas, Sales Manager of International Yogurt. The Company will provide Maverik with its YOCREAM(R) nonfat frozen yogurt, which is dispensed through in-store, soft-serve machines. This deal makes Maverik one of International Yogurt Company's top ten customers for frozen yogurt. Maverik is currently in the final stages of acquiring 38 Circle K stores, which will bring the chain's store count to 178. The additional stores will mean incremental sales for International Yogurt, according to Bargas. "We are also providing our dispenser smoothie product to Maverik for testing at several of its stores," Bargas said. "The addition of YOCREAM(TM) Smoothies to Maverik could more than double our business with this prestigious chain." International Yogurt Company makes, markets and sells frozen desserts, snacks and smoothies throughout the United States and in several foreign countries. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998, the company reported sales of $10.2 million, up 18 percent from the prior year. Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 were up 35%.

Keep watching NPCT and ECIC: This company is taking its PR to the next level as it appears the company is moving closer to a deal in the Smart Card industry. The CEO is now over in Europe having major discussions with several parties. Siemens,Atmel and Phillips are the 3 major groups in that industry over there. This deal alone could generate 40-50 million a year in revenues to NPCT. I look for them back around April 1st and major news once they get back. March 23, 1999 11:00 AM DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 1999--Nanopierce Technologies, Inc. NPCT today announced that it engaged the international firm of Cornerstone Holdings Group, Inc. and three associated firms to provide investor relations services to Nanopierce. Cornerstone specializes in representing technology-based companies. It primarily conducts its investor relations services through an international network of associated firms providing similar services. Paul H. Metzinger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nanopierce, said, "We are delighted to have Cornerstone as the manager of the Company's investor relations program. The program is designed specifically to create an active, orderly and informed market and to develop attractive liquidity for and proper valuation of our common stock, which will benefit the shareholders and enhance our opportunities to obtain financing." Nanopierce owns eleven patents, six pending patent applications, two patent applications in preparation and other intellectual properties, relating to its Nanopierce Connection System (NCS). This advanced system & material is designed to provide a significant improvement over conventional electrical and mechanical interconnection methods for high-density circuit boards, components, sockets, connectors, semiconductor packaging and electronic systems. Watch ECIC as I look for nice upside on that one by weeks end and a major news early next week. A fully reporting company with a very respectable share structure of 1.9 million and a 400,000 share float. Anyone can PM me for more info as this same party just helped run the LCSG golf from 70 cents to over 3 dollars.ECIC is a much cleaner deal with some strong fundamentals that will move it much higher.
