[sharechat] Sanford Foreign exchange losses
Hi Marilyn.
Mention of it in the Annual Report in the Chairman's Report. Also mentioned
in the announcements made to the NZSE. Some interesting charts in the
presentation the bosses made at the AGM.
Copies at http://www.sanford.co.nz/docs/CHAIRMD01%20Printer.pdf
Basically they appeared to have bought all their US$ at 52 cents (on the
advice of bankers of course) in Sept 2000.
All this is pretty complicated and and if it goes wrong it can hurt a
company badly. These dealings are a zero sum game - this means that Sanfords
losses were somebody elses gains.
Not easy to explain - Marilyn, I'll leave that to somebody else.
Any offers?
