Sneak Previews
I pick these special situations from those presented to me each
month by my network of brokers, market makers, PR companies, investment
bankers, venture capitalists, & key people in various industries.
My primary criterion is my opinion of the stock's potential to double
or better in the next six to 12 months.
Once a Sneak, a company becomes a candidate for the "Situation
of the Month" coverage in a future issue. Our decision concerning
which to cover in a more detailed way is based on what we find in
continuing investigation. I may give special attention to a Sneak
I did a year ago, or one from the last issue; do not attach significance
to timing.
I will, however, do updates on those Sneaks I continue to follow,
either in the "Update Briefs" section of the newsletter, in e-mail
updates (send me your e-mail address & I'll include you -- send
to me at Larry@WallStreetCorner.com), or in "Larry Oakley's Opinion,"
"Larry Oakley's Daily Comment," or "Larry Oakley's Weekly Stock
Pick" sections of WallStreetCorner.
While Sneaks are preliminary recommendations, do not use them
for investment decisions unless you decide on the basis of facts
you uncover in your own investigation. Use our "Financial Navigator"
to get more information on any stock. Keep in mind that the codes
listed after each Sneak are preliminary, reflecting my first impression.
They are subject to change based on further investigation.
Codes: At the end of each Sneak Preview & Update, there
are three codes. They have a rating from 1 to 10. Those numbers
reflect my personal opinion. Please -- do not take action based
on my opinion alone. Do four things before taking action: (1) Read
my original writeup to get an overall feel; (2) Get the latest 10-Q,
10-K, corporate profile, & news releases; you can access them at
www.WallStreetCorner.com by using "Financial Navigator;" (3) Study
them; & (4) Call a key member of management to get a final impression.
If anything bothers you regarding that call, pass. There are lots
of situations. Do not invest unless everything about a situation
feels good to you.

"R" stands for "Risk Rating." A "1" means I view the
situation as having an extreme amount of risk. A "10" means very
low risk -- a much sounder, more financially stable situation. You'll
see hardly any with a "1" or "10" rating. I chose "10" to mean lowest
risk so the higher the number after each of the three codes, the
more favorable the rating.
"M" stands for "Midterm Appreciation Potential."
A "1" means I view the situation as having a small degree of midterm
("mid-term" is six to 12 months) potential. A "10" means really
outstanding midterm potential.
"L" stands for "Long-term Appreciation Potential." A
"1" means I view the situation as having a small degree of long-term
("long-term" is over one year) potential. A "10" means really outstanding
long-term potential.
ALYA International, Inc. (Pink Sheets/ALYA) develops software
& hardware for intelligent building control & security systems.
It completed its response to questions from the SEC re its SB-1
filing & registration, one of the steps preparatory to meeting the
requirements to be listed on the NASDAQ Small Cap market. Getting
on NASDAQ is subject to bureaucratic delay, so it may take awhile,
but I like to alert you to opportunities at as early a time as possible.
The stock is trading at about 1/4, so if you have patience, this
may be a good time to check this one out. It has offices in Austin,
TX; San Francisco; Antwerp, Belgium; Beijing, China; & is based
in Vancouver.
This past year, it introduced its O.P.E.N. centrixTM system (Open
Platform for Essential Networks), a tamper-proof high-end security
system that provides the ability to interface to lighting, heating,
& air conditioning systems, to provide truly intelligent buildings.
ALYA has such clients as U.S. Federal Protection Services, U.S.
General Services Administration, Bank of Norway, Insurance Corp.
of British Columbia, & Motorola. ALYA received a letter of intent
from Motorola's Worldwide Smart Card Solutions Division to install
a security system into Motorola's entire 21 building headquarters
in Chicago, & its new facility in Zurich. It has already installed
a system into the first of these buildings, including the one in
Switzerland. It also has an OEM agreement with Control Systems International,
a building automation leader, & received an order to supply its
Advanced Security Management System to the U.S. EPA.
Its marketing agreement with Raytheon's Fiber Optic Division involves
a system for the Puerto Rico Telephone Co. The system will rely
on a fiber optic-based distributed sensing system as part of a 300-building
network deployed throughout Puerto Rico. It will provide Smart Card
access control & security for more than 11,000 employees.
