FOUNTAIN FRESH INTERNATIONAL CHANGES ITS NAME TO BEVEX INC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...Beverage Center Redesign Underway SOLANA BEACH, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- At the August 17, 1998 annual meeting of Fountain Fresh International (OTC Bulletin Board: FTFR) 20,362,897 of 32,123,571 common shares of stock were represented in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum. Shareholders voted on the following actions and business matters: 1. The existing board of directors was reelected by a majority shareholder vote as follows: Hugues Monteil Chairman of the Board Marc Bruhwiler Director Allen Hardman Director Michael Montandon Director 2. The appointment of the accounting firm of Jones & Jensen in Salt Lake City, Utah, as auditor of record for Fountain Fresh International was ratified by a majority shareholder vote. 3. The Stock Purchase Agreement, executed on May 19, 1998, wherein a majority of Fountain Fresh shares were purchased by BSAG (Switzerland) and its affiliates, was ratified by a majority shareholder vote. 4. An amendment of Article 1 of the Articles of Incorporation of Fountain Fresh International, changing the name of Fountain Fresh International to BEVEX Inc. was approved by a majority shareholder vote. Fountain Fresh International previously was doing business as BetterStuff Inc. BEVEX has now been reorganized to make BetterStuff International a wholly owned subsidiary of BEVEX Inc. The beverage center business will be conducted by BetterStuff International. The name BetterStuff Inc. will no longer be used. Accordingly, all future communications to the beverage center marketplace will be from BetterStuff International. All communications to shareholders will originate with BEVEX Inc. Redesign of the company's beverage center, to incorporate several new features, is underway. A concept prototype design review meeting is scheduled to be held in Switzerland on October 27, 1998. "If the new features function as expected, we believe it will significantly enhance the opportunities to place beverage centers in the global marketplace," said Allen Hardman, president and CEO of BEVEX Inc. "Moreover, we believe these features will provide BetterStuff International with a much stronger competitive position than it had with the old design," he said. In response to a frequently asked question, Hardman indicated that BestWay USA, which has been restructured, continues as the North American distributor for BetterStuff International. However, the purchase order BestWay initially issued to BetterStuff Inc. in the fall of 1997 was canceled when the first two beverage centers delivered to BestWay by BetterStuff Inc. failed to perform in the marketplace and were removed from service. The company has been advised by BestWay that BestWay will not place any new orders for beverage centers until the performance and reliability of the new design currently underway has been proven to BestWay's satisfaction. BEVEX Inc. (formerly Fountain Fresh International) is a developer and manufacturer of in-store beverage machines, designed to offer value-oriented, self-serve soft drinks and purified drinking water. Any statements released by BEVEX Inc. that are forward-looking are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

On the subject of multiple companies sharing the same address, please see the article in Barrons about Global Entertainment Ticker GAMM. Here's the part I found particularly interesting, and why I believe multiple companies run out of the same office is a major red flag: When Barron's asked Steven Abboud why his Internet gambling firm shared its address with that of at least one business owned by the admitted cable pirates, Abboud said there were several buildings at that address. While that may be true, there is only one Suite No. 5 there, and before the indictments were returned, it had been the home of Steven Abboud's Internet gaming firm and his finance firms, and also of Gene Abboud's G&A Distributing -- mentioned in the Atlanta indictment. Given Global Entertainment's ambitions in sports wagering, it's noteworthy that the 67-year-old Gene served a brief jail term after pleading no contest to illegal bookmaking charges in the early 'Eighties. Buyer Beware!
