CCAA: Cala Corporation is a developer of international hospitality
businesses with a corporate emphasis on
the ownership, operation and management of hotels, resorts and casinos.
Cala Corporation is currently
developing the Undersea Resort Casino and Hotel project with proposed
locations throughout the world.
CEO Joseph Cala has been working on this project since 1996 with the
assistance of the prestigious University
of Hawaii School of Oceanography and the internationally renowned
architectural firm of Wimberly Allison
Tong & Goo, the world's leading design consultant for the hospitality, leisure,
and entertainment industries.
Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo is head quartered in Honolulu, Hawaii and has
offices in Newport, Singapore
and London. The plan alsoe nvisions additional resort hotels in other warm
climates such as Belize, Cozumel,
Grand Cayman, Sicily and Malta. The Company is in negotiations with other
international gaming and
entertainment industry concerns interested in exploring potential
partnerships and alliances for the undersea project.
Cala Corp. acquired Cala Hotels, Inc., a Hawaii corporation. Cala Hotels, Inc.
owns the rights to the
Undersea Resort Casino and Hotel project and certain other assets
attributable to goodwill. Cala Hotels Inc.
has had many years experience in the international hotel and resort industry,
particularly in Hawaii, Japan and
the Far East. Consideration for the transaction was $6,000,000 of Cala
Corporation, Inc. common stock.
Recently Joseph Cala, Chairman and CEO of Cala Corporation (OTC
Bulletin Board: CCAA) anounced that
extensive groundwork for the Cala Corporation and B-Tec, Inc. of Italy
alliance, initially announced on June 5, 2000,
has already been completed. Key personnel, needed to assist in Sicily, have
been identified and enlisted.
Preliminary marketing to distribute the battery packs in Italy, as well as
internationally, has been done. A financial
analysis coupled with a detailed business plan has also been completed.
The initial configuration of the plant
assembly line will produce 4.5 million units. The production capability of the
plant will be upgraded to produce nine
million units the second year. Based upon this analysis, second year
revenues are expected to be $36 million.
Cala Corporation has acquired a 51% interest in the Italian company, San
Giuseppe Molino. The historic San Giuseppe
Molino Mills, located in Caltanissetta, Italy, are known for their high-quality
bread products. The mills currently wholesale their products throughout Italy.
Mr. Calla stated
that it is Cala Corporation's intent to quickly open a flagship bakery/cafe in
San Cataldo, Sicily. This site will become the prototype bakery/cafe for
expansion into European,
American and Japanese markets.
Cala Corporation's goal is to open over 100 franchise locations within five
years. This acquisition is expected to bring immediate revenue to Cala
Corporation. Annual
system-wide sales for the mill and eight retail locations exceed $5 million.
Cala Corporation's has an ongoing effort to purchase Costanzo Industries of
Italy. Mr. Cala stated that he was confident
that the meetings in Rome before Prefetto Santoro were both constructive
and positive. Mr. Mauro Zaro, Senior Manager of KPMG Italy, has been
retained by the Cala
Corporation to assist with the Costanzo acquisition. Costanzo Industries is a
leading force in Southern European construction. Besides their historical
concentration in hotel
and resort construction, Costanzo is currently servicing a 14% contractual
interest in a three billion dollar high speed train construction project. This
project is an
ongoing collaboration with Fiat (NYSE: FIA) and General Motors (NYSE:
GM).
After further review of information provided by Costanzo, the net value of
pending contracts to be honored by Cala
Corporation has been revised to $221 million.
CCAA announced that the Board of Directors has approved a corporate
buy-back of up to one million shares of
Cala Corporation common stock from the open market. The shares
purchased by Cala Corporation will be
placed in the corporate treasury. The corporate buy-back of Cala Corporation
stock will occur at management's
discretion over the course of the next calendar year.

The undersea hotel and resort casion project was recently featured in the
Wall Street Journal and Mr. Cala was
interviewed on TV last month in Hawaii about the project. The following is a
copy of the Wall Street
Journal Article:
February 11, 2000
BY MICHELLE HIGGINS and JONATHAN B. WEINBACH
Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Luxury Lodging Under the Sea
"The luxury hotel is about to take a dive, literally. A floating resort with at least
20 underwater rooms is on the
drawing board at Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo, the Honolulu architectural
firm that designed the Atlantis
Resort in the Bahamas. Cala Corp. currently plans to build the resort about
300 feet off the shore of Maui in
Hawaii. Features include large portholes and pressurized chambers to allow
guests access to their subaqua
environment -- "like a Jules Verne scene," says George Berean, Wimberly
Allison senior vice president.
Meanwhile, U.S. Submarines Inc. and Poseidon Submarines have designed
a 286-foot luxury submarine
intended for two-day underwater cruises. Guest rooms are small, but include
large portholes, outer-water lights
and a button you can push to feed the fish. The cost of a deep-sea sleep?
Room rates at the resort are expected to
be $500 to $600, and the submarine cruise is estimated at $4,000 a person.
But don't reach for your scuba
gear just yet -- both projects are at least two years away."

We are very proud to that our pick of the week is CCAA. Our long time
members know that we have
been following CCAA for several months now and have profiled it on our
long term picks page. This stock
has closed some major deals recently and is close to finalizing several more
huge deals. After speaking with
Joseph Cala, CEO of Cala Corporation, we look for more big news to come
in the weeks and months ahead.
With that in mind we stand behind our long term target price of $20 and we
are giving it a short term target
price of $10. This is the first time we have ever given this stock a short term
target price, but we feel Cala
is doing a good job of defining Cala Corporation and look forward to a great
future for this stock.
