That I knew of course since I owned some of the stock.

Can't wait... Aludra will start trading again tomorrow, 0.25 is the rock bottom price, coz' that was the price when it was in serious debt. Now, Aludra is nearly debt free + themindstore.com + Aludra RMS fully functional. Hope that no one will jump ship tomorrow, due to the "non-trading days" fear.

BUSINESS FOCUS

Aludra was incorporated on June 24, 1997 and began operations as a
full-service graphic design and multimedia firm. It expanded its services
to include media solutions for Internet applications in 1998. Clients
included AOL, Mattel, Paramount, Activision, ADP, TD Waterhouse, Toronto
Maple Leafs, Headline Sports Cable Channel and Tridel. Aludra went public
in August of 2000.

i) Aludra ProPOS

In January of 2000, The Beauty Supply Outlet ("BSO"), a 30-store
retail franchise chain founded in 1993, commissioned Aludra to design a
point of sale software solution because they were unhappy with their
existing system and were not impressed with other available solutions.
Aludra's initial solution, called ProPOS was first deployed at BSO in
October of 2000.

ii) Aludra RMS

This initial exposure to the retail industry caused Aludra to take
note of the opportunity that existed in taking an enterprise resource
planning approach to store systems. In November of 2000, the decision was
made to move forward with the development of an integrated retail solution
utilizing the latest technology. Faisal Nasir, previously Director of
Information Technology at Hospitality Solutions International, joined
Aludra in January 2001 with a team of developers who were given the mandate
to develop this product. Further substantial resources were added to the
project in August 2001. This enterprise retail solution, called Aludra
RMS, was released on February 1, 2002. Development costs to that date were
approximately $1 million.

On February 11, 2002, Aludra entered into an agreement with BSO that
calls for the installation of Aludra RMS at all BSO outlets after a
successful 90-day trial at three of its existing stores. Although Aludra
has agreed to provide its RMS software solution at no cost to the first 100
BSO stores, the Corporation expects to earn between $100,000 and $150,000
in revenues from this contract over the next 12 months from staging,
set-up, support, installation and training revenues. BSO is receiving the
first 100 licenses at no cost in return for functioning as a test and
reference site for the Aludra RMS product. The current market price for
these licenses is $3,000 for the first license and $1,500 for each
additional license required per retail outlet.

Aludra intends to begin distributing its RMS software through dealers
after the successful completion of the 90-day trial at BSO and plans to
attend a Retail System Dealer Show in Las Vegas in August, 2002. The
Corporation also intends to attend the Retail Systems 2002 Conference &
Exposition in Chicago in June, 2002. This show attracts retailers who are
looking for point of sale and other retail management solutions.

Aludra RMS modules immediately available include Point of Sale, full
inventory management at store and chain level, purchasing and supplier
management, labour scheduling, customer loyalty and contact management, and
full data base analysis and reporting facilities. Integrated accounting
and E-commerce support are also available. Information can be accessed
in-store, from Head Office, from any remote Internet location, or from any
device with built in WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) such as a RIM
Blackberry, Palm Pilot or mobile phone.

Single store retailers, or retail chains, requiring a powerful and
flexible system to allow the tracking of inventories, full margin and
profit analysis, fully integrated customer history, tracking loyalty and
management, as well as reporting at store or head office level, will be
able to utilize the features within the Aludra RMS suite.

Aludra is also pleased to announce a joint agreement with RBA Inc., of
Montreal, Quebec. Under this agreement RBA, with 36 centers across Canada,
will provide comprehensive on site service and support to Aludra customers
across Canada.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

Aludra will significantly improve its working capital situation
through the conversion of $894,250 of debt into 3,577,000 common shares and
the extension of repayment terms on a further $140,000 in debt to January
1, 2005. The common shares issuable on conversion of the debt will be
subject to a 12-month hold and are therefore not tradeable until March 1,
2003. The Corporation will have 13,957,000 shares outstanding after the
debt conversion.

The Corporation has also reached an agreement to terminate its lease
at 1 Woodborough Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, effective December 31, 2001,
resulting in cost savings of over $120,000 annually. Discussions are also
underway concerning the restructuring or elimination of approximately
$150,000 in total equipment lease obligations.

In addition, approximately $75,000 due to Mr. Baiocchi pursuant to
loans he made to the Corporation has been forgiven, thereby reducing the
amount payable to him to $54,000. Monthly payments of $4,500 are scheduled
to commence on April 1, 2002.

REINSTATEMENT OF TRADING

The Corporation is currently working with the Canadian Venture
Exchange Inc. on the reinstatement of trading of the Corporation's common
shares which management expects to occur by the beginning of March.

Aludra Inc - News Release
Aludra explains filing statement default
Aludra Inc YAD
Shares issued 17,862,996 Sep 19 2001 close $.250
Thursday Jan 31 2002 News Release

Mr. Aldo Baiocchi reports
DEFAULT ANNOUNCEMENT OF ALUDRA INC. ("ALUDRA") PURSUANT TO ON ...
Aludra has not filed its quarterly financial statements for the period started Aug. 1, 2001, and ended Nov. 30, 2001. Aludra was required to file these financials by Jan. 29, 2002. Aludra anticipates that it will be in a position to file its interim financial statements for the quarter ended Nov. 30, 2001, by Feb. 28, 2002.
The reasons for Aludra's failure to file its financial statements for the quarter ended Nov. 30, 2001, are as follows:
Aludra is experiencing a change of management and board control that is expected to be completed within 14 days. The new management will require additional time to conduct a thorough review before presenting financial statements to shareholders and the Ontario Securities Commission.
Material transactions, including the conversion of $750,000 of debt into equity, have occurred postperiod that will require inclusion but are currently subject to pending regulatory approval by the Canadian Venture Exchange.
In light of the above Aludra requires additional time to prepare and finalize its interim financial statements and will remedy the default prior to the date identified above.
Aludra acknowledges that the two-month date following default is March 30, 2002, and that OSC may impose an issuer cease trade order if the default is not remedied by that time.
Aludra will take steps to satisfy the provisions of the alternate information guidelines under the policy for so long as it remains in default of the financial statement filing requirement.

Hi Tom, e-commerce is here to stay, but depends on the sectors... for instance, there are a lot of companies who are doing some kind of online payment service or technologies, but I don't think all of them can stay. Major consolidation in all e-commerce sector is needed. Most likely the big boys can stay, though small companies might have a better solutions, these big boys can always do a copy cat... for example PayPal is the most original service, but then you got BillPoint as a copy cat by eBay and some others too... small companies can survive by taking the leads, however, if the big boys are as agressive as M$, they can crush the small companies by embracing and extending the technologies. At the end, the small companies have to keep innovating, or keep a strong leads in terms of customer based to stay alive.

B2B, B2C, B2G, they are all here to stay, but only a handful of companies will stay... doing e-commerce infrastructure is always better than just pure service play. Your question is too broad... that's all I can think of for now. Or you want to know my thought on Aludra?

Hope this helps.

all shorts can be viewed twice a month

I think that information is pretty useless since the information available is provided by the brokers and Canadian brokers are known for not reporting their shorts correctly. I've done alot of research into that by looking at the best available sources for short information on Canadian stocks. Being able to find correct short information on a Canadian stock is the exception rather than the rule.

The Beauty Supply Outlet Selects Aludra To Implement Point-of-Sale Solution
Faisal Nasir Appointed as Director of POS

Toronto, Feb. 05 / BCE Emergis / - Aludra Inc. (CDNX: YAD), the Technology & Imagination Company announced today the signing of an agreement to provide more than 25 retail locations of The Beauty Supply Outlet with an integrated Point-of-Sale (POS) solution. This agreement provides for the implementation of Aludra's POS software to be installed throughout The Beauty Supply Outlet retail chain, and includes Aludra's back office solution for intra-network chain management at its corporate headquarters.

Aludra POS is an SQL-based, Web-enabled business software solution that runs on either Microsoft's 32-bit Windows platform or Linux-based systems. This business software caters primarily to the general merchandise and specialty retail industry. Aludra POS incorporates both central control and real-time transaction processing and provides the ability to manage high-volume operations. Aludra POS is integrated with Aludra's e-Suite applications - a collection of cutting-edge B2B technology solutions featuring innovative wireless concepts in both front-office and back-office applications.

"We chose Aludra's POS solution over the competition because of its real-time, customizable, back-office support and centralized control features," said Monty Koffman, Founder and President of The Beauty Supply Outlet. "Aludra's POS solution will provide the real-time information that we require in order to perform the type of detailed analysis that is critical to the success of our retail operation."

In a related development, Aludra is pleased to announce the appointment of Faisal Nasir as Director of POS. Faisal is a 10-year veteran in the IT industry and has more recently been involved in projects encompassing enterprise-wide POS systems integration and development. Prior to Aludra, Faisal was Director of Information Technology at Hospitality Solutions International, a leading technology provider to the hospitality industry. In his new position, Faisal will be responsible for the strategic planning, development and delivery of all POS-related endeavors.

"I am thrilled to be a part of this next-generation POS endeavor," Faisal said. "Most POS solutions are entrenched within technologies that have far surpassed their usefulness. This is not the case with Aludra's POS solution. Our system features security and scalability in a real-time automated point-of-sale transaction system, and extends this functionality across all the retail spectrums including inventory management and data-ware-housing. This is one of the first POS systems to be fully integrated with e-commerce and accounting, all accessible via WAP technology."

My YAD Insight

YAD's recent spread has become bigger and bigger recently. Talked to the company lately, the IPO rush sellers have been disappointing the company and causing the price depression whenever we have exciting news. As most of the shares are holding in friendly hands, it's possible that we've reached a stage that most "looking for a quick buck" people have gone. The Accord Software deal indicates the reasonable minimum stock price should be $1.5. The big spread might probably indicate the lack of interest to the company, as well as the liquidity of the stock.

Aludra's e-Suite is what the company is focusing on, this Suite can be expanded according to the needs. Clients can subscribe to different components of the software. With the help of e-Suite, Aludra can gain a foot hold to the other Internet business around the client, like web-hosting, advertising, webdesign, etc. The POS part of the Suite and the total WAP capability helps Aludra to differentiate itself from others competitors. The target clients of the POS are mainly the retail sectors with more than 1 stores, so they can sync their inventories. Another benefit of the e-Suite is that it's all built from scratch, so whenever the customers want any special customization, Aludra can fulfill the clients' needs on the fly.

The recently appointment of Advisory Board, Binns, is also helping Aludra to increase the sales. In fact, Aludra is now hiring sales people to sell the e-Suite. This is a product that will help spreading the Aludra virus to the small and medium business. Right now, Aludra is focusing on the Ontario business, and will expand to other North America districts later.

There are some other very very exciting developments, I suggest all interesting people to check out the website at http://www.aludra.com , make sure you have Flash V5.0 to view the flash version of the website, else you're going to run into some errors.

Please do yourself a favor to check out their ventures and investments, besides the Internet services, e-Suite, TV advertisment production, etc, these ventures should also give YAD a boost to their earnings.

At $1.1, YAD is a steal, a money making company since inception with a growth of over 300% last year.

If you have any question about YAD, please call the company or leave me a message here, I will try to answer your questions. I don't work for the company, but I do have some shares

Aludra Expands Aludra e-Suite with Purchase of
Comprehensive Accounting Package

Toronto, Ontario



Provides Cost-Effective Business Management Solution to Fully
Address Back-Office Needs

Aludra Inc. (CDNX: YAD) today announced that it has purchased from Accord Software Inc. the source code and exclusive
rights to modify, improve and market Accord 2000 Business Application Software. The purchase of this accounting software
system was accomplished for $25,000 in cash and 84,000 shares of Aludra common stock valued at $1.50 per share in an
arms-length transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval. This advanced Web-based accounting system is a fully
integrated enterprise-wide solution that provides customizable enterprise resource modules, such as general ledger, accounts
receivable and accounts payable. Accord was chosen after an extensive review of several Window-based accounting
software applications on the market. The Accord 2000 package was selected because of its rich feature set, and extensive
enterprise-level / multi-user functionality that, once incorporated into Aludra's e-Suite can be delivered at a fraction of the cost
of competing business management solutions for the same market.

According to Forrester Research, Canadian companies will spend $1.8 billion on integration products and services during
2001 and that figure is expected to grow to $9.1 billion by 2004. Further, integration projects comprise 30% of information
technology development budgets.

Accord's Integrated Accounting is available in three distinct modules:


* General Ledger - providing organizations with sophisticated
financial reporting and sound accounting procedures.
* Accounts Payable - that tracks vendor's activity and all
transactions that affect accounts payable balance.
* Accounts Receivable - allows tracking of customer sales activity
and payment behavior.

A further module, Human Resources/Payroll is currently under development and will round-out Aludra's comprehensive
accounting package. Accord 2000 will easily integrate with Aludra's e-Suite and will include new feature enhancements, such
as multiple channels, including WAP compliance - that will facilitate workforce interaction as the accounting package is to be
fully integrated with wireless business applications capability that enables mobile workers access to real-time, round-the-clock
remote access involving corporate data and e-mail via hand-held computers and cellular phones.

Aldo Baiocchi, President and CEO of Aludra had this to say, ``We want to offer the most comprehensive and flexible suite of
integrated business management and e-Business solutions and believe that our new model of business communications will in
fact lead the market. Once Accord 2000 is fully integrated into Aludra's e-Suite, managers will have WAP-enabled 24/7
remote access to all aspects of their business process. Imagine, you can be on the road and check on any aspect of your
companies operation. We are among the first companies to offer an e-Business platform that includes Accounting, POS and
e-Commerce all fully integrated and WAP compliant.''

Tony De Feo, President of Accord Inc. added, ``We are pleased to provide Aludra with a robust accounting solution and
look forward to our new partnership with Aludra and will actively promote their e-Suite platform as a value-added reseller
(VAR). We are excited to see our accounting software taken to a new level of integrated functionality. Once seamlessly
incorporated into Aludra's e-Suite, Accord 2000 will take full advantage of the functions, features and flexibility of this
leading-edge platform and help set the standard in this market.''
