(COMTEX) B: Investors' Alert Announces Investment Opinion On Oxford K B: Investors' Alert Announces Investment Opinion On Oxford Knight International HOUSTON, Oct 27, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Strong Buy / Oxford Knight International (OTCBB:OKTI) Thomas Loyd, chief editor of Investors' Alert stated, "Occasionally a situation comes along where the risk/reward ratio is too appetizing to pass up, and our newest pick is no exception, Oxford Knight International, Inc. (OTCBB:OKTI)" Thomas Loyd again stated, "OKTI by definition is a mergers/acquisitions company that also forays into commercial and residential project development. In addition to the M&A and project development side of the business, OKTI also markets an extensive line of fudge candy through a wholly owned retail store, supermarkets, and gas station/convenience marts. Over the past 7 months OKTI has explored numerous business opportunities. The result: letters of intent have been signed. One result in particular is the 40% interest acquired in Fusion Capital, a debit card facilitator testing its product with McDonalds Corp. (NYSE:MCD). OKTI also develops residential and commercial projects. It is aggressively seeking potential hotel development projects in the Southern U.S., meanwhile pursuing its residential & assisted living development side of the business in upstate New York. He went on to say, "Lastly, the company produces a line of fudge candy under the name Southern Heaven, selling it through a Northeast U.S.-based supermarket chain (Tops), gas station/convenience marts, as well as a wholly owned Southern Heaven retail location in Depew, N.Y. Sales for the fudge are still in the early stages, but shipments to the initial two Tops stores where it was test-marketed sold out in days, and Tops just upped its commitment to include up to an additional 48 stores. OKTI is also currently in discussions with some of the nations largest mass merchandisers and other regional grocery chains to carry the Southern Heaven line. This segment of the business should contribute a great deal to OKTI's bottom line as well as adding to its name recognition. After discussions with management, total overall sales for 2000 are projected to reach $2 million, $5 million in 2001. Net margins for this business are very high and should be close to 25%, which means next year's earnings should approach $.20/ share and $.40/ share in 2001, and believe me stocks with $.20/ share in earnings don't trade at these levels, they usually trade at $5.00 and higher."
