TLNT late news
LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1999--Telenetics Corp. (OTC
BB:TLNT - news) Tuesday announced that Alabama Power has agreed to beta test
Telenetics' newly released AirWave(TM) cellular automatic meter reading (AMR)
modules at 200 hard-to-reach residential
meter sites.

Upon the successful conclusion of the test, Alabama Power, which provides electricity
to nearly 1.3 million users in the southern
two-thirds of the state, has indicated its intention to install AirWave(TM) in thousands of
hard-to-reach residential meters. Ten
to fifteen percent of the approximately 290 million utility meters in North America are
categorized as hard-to-reach.

The AirWave(TM) cellular communications module fits inside a utility meter or other
remote monitoring or data acquisition
device. Used in conjunction with Cellemetry® Data Services, a patented
communications technology originally developed by
Bell South,

AirWave(TM) provides reliable, low cost, two-way communications to monitor or read
equipment such as hard-to-reach utility
meters and remote control and measurement devices. AirWave(TM) incorporates a
patent pending antenna inside the meter.
The Airwave(TM) solution reads meters as frequently as the energy provider desires
and reports meter tampering and power
outage detection.

Alabama Power is one of five U.S. utilities operated by Southern Company (NYSE:SO
- news), the nation's largest producer
of electricity.

Telenetics is a leader in the design and manufacture of proprietary data-communications
solutions for utility and industrial
automation applications. Telenetics is a pioneer in providing communications solutions to
major manufacturers of meters,
RTU's, controls and measurement devices.

With the introduction of Omega(TM) automatic meter reading cabinets and subsequent
$6.8 million contract with Duquesne
Light Company of Pittsburgh (Nasdaq:DQE - news) in 1998, Telenetics introduced a
unique cellular solution for commercial
and industrial meter reading automation. While Omega is intended for the commercial
and industrial meter reading applications
where large amount of data is transferred and polled, AirWave(TM) is designed to be
installed inside residential meters with
smaller size data transfer. It is specifically designed for hard to reach meters.

This is about all I have at the moment:
finance.yahoo.com

I bought it last August and had to wait until December last year for my profits, but I was confident the price would come around once annual financials were released.

SOCT is already at its price low at $1.06 for the year, and once management settles down the price should rebound by Sept/December when earnings for the quarter/or year are announced. (ASSSSuming they report another profit vs loss for the quarter/year)
(Two key points: Competent new CEO, and time is necessary for this to be a winner. If they can't redirect the company to the satisfaction of shareholders, the stock could dive under $1, but at this time I feel 65-70% sure of a turnaround in stock price.) (I usually wait until I'm at least 80% sure before actually buying a stock, but I figured I'd throw it out for the index anyway, and for those who like to know in advance what I'm keeping an eye on.)

Regards all,
-Mark
