Thursday April 23, 1:50 pm Eastern Time Allwest Systems CEO to buy add'l stock DENVER, Colo., April 23 (Reuters) - Allwest Systems Inc.'s chief executive said Thursday he would buy additional shares of the company's stock. ''Recent fluctuations in our share price present an excellent opportunity to strengthen our investment in Allwest. Our analysis indicates that at this level, with the company's shares so undervalued, we are presented with an excellent opportunity and a situation which would benefit our position in the long term,'' said chief executive Steven Pickett. Last month, Allwest, which sells security and safety systems, said it expected a $782,461 profit on $14,742,271 in gross revenues for its fiscal year ending March 31, 1999. A company spokesman was not immediately available to say how much the company earned in its current fiscal year.

One or two such transactions could double its annual revenues to $30 million in the next 18 to 24 months, it said. Long-term plans include a focus on growth in international markets.
