MCCORMICK & COMPANY 2004 ANNUAL REPORT financial information Cherie Lim Innovation Director, Asia ” The cooling effect of mint reflects the Chinese philosophy of a life of  balance. Heat is opposed in equal measure by the  aromatic, sweet flavor of mint. Add McCormick mint leaves to a mixture of yogurt and cucumbers to make a light and refreshing dip/dressing (for variation: add a touch of McCormick curry powder and a hint of smoke flavor to the  mixture for an interesting  tandoori dip or burger dressing). ” 20 21 management’s discussion and analysis 35 report of management 35-36 reports of independent registered public accounting firm 37 consolidated financial statements consolidated statement of income consolidated balance sheet consolidated statement of cash flows consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity 41  notes to consolidated financial statements 56  historical financial summary
