@Gabi, du wolltest doch keine ´kleinlichen Streits´ hier. Warum
fängst du jetzt ebenfalls mit solch einer
Totschläger-Argumentationstechnik an?
@M_III, wann verstehst du endlich, dass es einfach schlechter Stil ist, auf den Fehlern und schlechten Erfahrungen anderer rumzureiten. Aber um deine Frage zu beantworten. Einige Tausend Euro zu verlieren ist nicht sonderlich schön. Und dann verbucht man es unter Erfahrungen sammeln.
Nicht das es mich sonderlich interessiert. Aber manchmal frage ich mich, was du für eine Persönlichkeit bist und wie es wohl wäre, dich als Arbeitskollegen zu haben. Und dann gruselt es mich.
Besser werden eure Argumente dadurch jedenfalls nicht.
M_III, wie kommst du eigendlich drauf, dass ich irgend einer Firma den Bankrott wünsche. Das Leute den Job verlieren und ein Haufen Anleger ihr Kleingeld? Weil ich dich und deine Argumentationart nicht sonderlich schätze? Da nimmst du dich ein wenig zu wichtig.
Und wieso MVIS ´schlecht´ machen? M_III, wer austeilen kann sollte auch einstecken können. Ich denke das sind alles ´begründete Zweifel´ an euren Argumentationen und an der Darstellung von einigen ´Argumenten´.
MVIS ist halt nicht die baldige Weltfirma mit reifer unschlagbarer Technik, als die du sie darstellst. Und wer hier Geld reinsteckt sollte sich aller Risiken incl. ihrer Größe zumindest bewusst sein.

Ich führe keine nonsens-Diskussionen, nur soviel: Sich ein Urteil
über jmd über WO zu bilden ist eigenartig. Hier geht es um
Sachdiskussionen. Mein angeblich schlimmer Charakter wurde v.a. von
Euch ALIFern kritisiert! Was ist denn über das Handeln von Herrn
Ottmar Renz zu sagen, und v.a. über das jahrelange Handeln &
"Wirken" von Herrn "Prof" Schöneburg?
Deine begründeten Zweifel akzeptiert jeder Investor, sind hinlänglich bekannt, muß jeder mit seinem eigenen Riskmanagement vereinbaren. MVIS ist eben höheres Risiko, höhere Chancen. Für mich selber ist das Risiko geringer, weil ich mich bei MVIS ordentlich auskenne.
Die Technik ist schlicht und ergreifend einfach genial und derzeit "unschlagbar", da muß ich Dir einfach widersprechen. Es gibt niemanden, der RSD hat! Tatsache!
Noch ist MVIS keine weltfirma, aber sie kann es werden. Mittlerweile, da wiederhole ich mich zum x-ten mal, aber das Argument ist eben stichhaltig, hat man 2 absolut markttaugliche und vom Markt angenommene Produkte, und es sind ein Vielfaches an weiteren, anderen Applikationen im Anmarsch, ebenfalls Tatsache. Nur: um dort mitreden zu können und zu argumentieren muß man eben sich auch etwas mit MVIS beschäftigen (es sollte selbstverständlich sein, dass man sich Gedanken macht, wo man sein Geld reinsteckt)! Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist hoch, dass einige der kommenden Applikationen einschlagen werden, und zwar gewaltig. Der Zeitraum ist unbekannt, klar. Kann dauern, kann aber auch ganz schnell gehen (warum sieht man seit Monaten keine Insidersells mehr?). Eine Firma, die mehrere, verschiedene Produkte im Massenmarkt hat, ist de facto eine Weltfirma.

na also, ich dachte schon, ich mache MVIS nur schlecht. Betreffs des Risikos unterliegst du einem kleinen Gedankenfehler. Das Risiko wird nicht geringer, nur weil man das Risiko kennt. Dass Verlustrisiko beim Lotto spielen wird auch nicht geringer, nur weil man weiss, dass hohe Wahrscheinlichkeiten dagegenstehen. Es kommt nur nicht so überraschend.
...Noch ist MVIS keine weltfirma, aber sie kann es werden...
...Eine Firma, die mehrere, verschiedene Produkte im Massenmarkt hat, ist de facto eine Weltfirma...
na was denn nun? MVIS hat anscheinend 2 Produkte. Aber weder für einen Massenmarkt, noch kann man von einem sonderlich hohen Umsatz derselben reden. Und woher du deinen Glauben nimmst, dass irgend eine Entwicklung irgendwann tatsächlich wie eine Bombe einschlägt und den Markt beherrschen wird, ist mir immer noch ein Rätsel.
Und weisst du was. Wenn MVIS tatsächlich mal nachhaltig Umsatz erzielt und vielleicht auch nur in die Nähe von Gewinn (und nicht nur Gewinnerzielungsabsicht) kommen wird, vielleicht kauf ich mir dann auch ein paar. Aber das wird noch lange dauern schätz ich mal.
Im Moment (wie die letzten Jahre) ist das für mich noch eine viel zu hoch bewertete Entwicklungsfirma, die noch in keinster Weise bewiesen hat, dass ihre ´tollen´ Entwicklungen jemals vom Markt akzeptiert werden bzw. überhaupt die notwendige Reife haben werden.
Und selbst wenn einige Verkäufe stattfinden werden und Umsatz ausserhalb des US-Militärs gemacht werden wird, muss erst noch eine Fähigkeit zur Erzielung akzeptabler Gewinnmargen her. Immerhin haben die nich nur ein paar Aktien draussen, sondern ganz viele auf die sich dann ein Gewinn verteilen wird.
Und wer weiss, vielleicht schmiert die Aktie dann auch noch ab, nur weil man dann mal endlich sieht, wie hoch die Gewinnmargen tatsächlich sein können. Das ist auch durchaus möglich.
Da nützt ein Hochjubeln auch nix.
Und @Gabi, wenn denn die Technik wirklich so toll ist und Honda so überzeugt ist... warum dann keinen Auftrag ? Warum nur eine nicht bindende Absichtserklärung. Ich sach auch manchmal... ´vielleicht ruf ich mal an´... Das ist doch gar nichts. Wieso redet ihr da immer von einem Auftrag?
Und vom Timing her kurz vor den Q2-Zahlen ... ein Schelm wer Böses dabei denkt. Soll das vielleicht von nicht ganz so tollen Zahlen dann ablenken?
Aber wie gesagt. Das ist nur meine persönliche Meinung.

Wir werden sehen, wie sich MVIS entwickelt. Ich bin jedenfalls
froh, dass sich MVIS in Vergangenheit selbst zu schlimmsten Zeiten
finanzieren konnte, viele Firmen haben das nicht geschafft und
existieren nicht mehr...
Ich bin auch froh, dass meine Firma die angekündigten ersten Produkte nun erfolgreich auf dem Markt plaziert hat und es nicht nur bei der Ankündigung blieb.
Wenn die nächsten Applikationen ebenfalls auf den Markt kommen und in entsprechender Stückzahl produziert werden, dann ist MVIS de facto eine Weltfirma.
Bis dahin kann ich warten und habe kein Problem damit, schließlich existiert meine Firma noch, wenn ich bedenke wie viele Investoren zu Boomzeiten Fakefirmen gekauft haben habe ich doch ein ganz passables Los gezogen.
Zu den kommenden Zahlen: eine R&D Firma kann keine tollen Zahlen präsentieren, entscheidend wird eine Wasserstandsmeldungen über angehende Produkte. Nach dem Honda-"Kontrakt" gab es keinen CC, ich gehe davon aus dass dieses Thema sehr hoch auf der Tagesordnung angesiedelt sein wird. Kein einziger Investor wird MVIS aufgrund den Q2-Zahlen abstossen, da bin ich mir sicher. Evtl werden Shorties das gestiegene Kursniveau nutzen, um die Aktie geringerer Nachfrage zu drücken. Hätten sie auch bitter nötig.
Nice weekend to all

und noch eine sehr wichtige adhoc in Q2 vom 30.Juni
BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2003-- Microvision, Inc. (Nasdaq:MVIS - News), a leader in light scanning technologies, today announced that it has achieved a significant breakthrough that is expected to enable the development of microminiature displays and imaging systems that are much more compact and affordable than those that the company is currently producing.
ADVERTISEMENT
According to the company, the new design should improve not only size and cost but is expected to also increase reliability and reduce the power required to operate the silicon micromirror that is the centerpiece of Microvision`s scanned beam systems.
The company`s current displays make use of a micromechanical chip that is packaged in a vacuum-sealed enclosure in order to maximize its performance. The new design eliminates the vacuum -- without impacting performance -- and simplifies the electrical drive structure of the scanning engine to enable solutions that consume less power and are dramatically smaller, lighter and lower in cost. Eliminating the vacuum package also improves the optical performance of the scanner. The current design enables displays with up to 1.4 million color pixels, but the new drive structure may also enable further improvements in display resolution.
"This breakthrough should enable us to develop a scanning engine that can support a wide range of high volume consumer products, including electronic viewfinders for digital cameras and camcorders," said Rick Rutkowski, Microvision CEO. "The new scan engine is also a big step on the path toward integrating high-resolution electronic displays into something like conventional eyeglasses that could be used in a variety of applications including computer gaming, portable movie players and mobile devices, such as cell phones and PDAs. We believe that Microvision`s displays are going to deliver a combination of performance, package size and price that is uniquely matched to the requirements of consumer electronics applications. This development is anticipated to ultimately benefit all of our product initiatives including our activities in automotive displays and next generation miniature cameras for medical and industrial applications."

Microvision Reports Second Quarter Revenue of $4.5 Million
$5.1 million in new contract awards, product developments and key technology achievements highlight second quarter activity
BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2003-- Microvision, Inc. (Nasdaq:MVIS), a leader in light scanning technologies, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2003. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $4.5 million compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2002. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $8.0 million compared to $8.5 million for the same period last year. Revenue in the second quarter of 2003 was derived from ongoing work on development contracts with U.S. military and commercial customers, sales of the Flic(TM) Laser Bar Code Scanner, sales of the Nomad(TM) Augmented Vision System, and development contracts at its subsidiary, Lumera. Revenue from development contracts with U.S. government agencies was $2.7 million, revenue from commercial contracts was $1.6 million and revenue from product sales was $146,000.
The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $6.7 million or $.38 per share compared to the net loss of $6.6 million or $.49 per share for the same period in 2002. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $14.1 million or $.83 per share compared to the net loss of $14.9 million or $1.12 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net cash used in operating activities was $14.4 million compared to $15.1 million for the same period in 2002.
The company, including Lumera, ended the quarter with $11.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities and a contract backlog of $3.4 million.
"The second quarter was a strong quarter for us, with solid financial results and the achievement of a number of very important milestones," said Microvision CEO Rick Rutkowski. "Contract revenue grew sequentially in the second quarter, reflecting higher government contract work and a continued strong level of commercial contract work. The gross profit margin continued to be strong, with this quarter`s margin again exceeding 50%. In addition, the second quarter included several important milestones, such as key deliveries to Canon and BMW and, most notably, the completion of a successful field trial with Honda that subsequently led to a non-binding letter of intent to purchase 3,800 units of our next generation Nomad display as announced by the company on July 31, 2003. We also reported the demonstration of a laser-scanning camera and the development and demonstration of a new microscanner engine that can enable significant improvements in cost, package size, power consumption and reliability across the range of the company`s display and imaging products. This is a breakthrough that is particularly important for the development of affordable miniature display solutions for consumer electronic products such as digital still cameras and camcorders.
"Contract awards in the second quarter were quite strong, with new awards totaling $5.1 million from both government and commercial customers. We continue to build the order pipeline for Flic and expect significantly higher Flic sales in the third quarter. However, our preliminary outlook for the third quarter suggests that total revenue may fall below the $4.2 million that we reported in the same quarter in 2002. This short-term variability is due to uncertainty regarding the timing of new contracts some of which are currently under negotiation. We are, however, actively pursuing several outstanding contract bids that could increase our revenue outlook for the third quarter.
"We believe that our recent letter of intent from Honda sets the stage for substantial growth in product revenue in 2004. We have begun marketing the next generation Nomad display to additional customers in the automotive segment as well as in other markets. We have been asked to conduct a field trial for automotive maintenance with another well-known truck and automaker later this month. We have recently completed a field trial with a military customer where the Nomad`s performance was well received. We plan to build on our early success and potential order with Honda with the aim of creating a significant backlog of orders for the Nomad system during the second half of this year.
"Our letter of intent with Honda is one of the most significant events of the year for Microvision. We believe that the initial indication of 3,800 units represents only a portion of Honda`s potential requirements and that the automotive maintenance and repair market is potentially a very large market for us. Worldwide there are nearly 1.4 million technicians that cover a broad range of automotive and related services, with 1.1 million of those already having access to online digital repair information. As a consequence, we believe that we can address a substantial early adopter segment in this market with the product currently in development.
"Our marketing effort for the Flic bar code scanner continues to focus on developing our distribution channel, increasing end-user product awareness and development of our sales organization. We have also completed several improvements to the product and have scheduled others in order to support a wider range of connectivity options and extend the product`s reach in the market. We have now signed 22 distribution agreements, including our recent agreement with MobilePlanet to market both Flic and our soon-to-be-launched cordless bar code scanner. We continue to have a large number of sales proposals outstanding and we believe that we will begin to see meaningful order flow later this year and significant growth in sales and revenue through 2004. We expect to announce the launch of our Flic cordless bar code scanner very soon. Market interest in this product has been strong and we expect to attract one or more launch customers for this unique product.
"We continue to advance discussions with a number of the world`s leading consumer electronics companies relating to a range of products, including electronic viewfinders for digital cameras and camcorders and displays for gaming and entertainment applications. Each of these represents a significant potential market opportunity and we are encouraged with the rapid progress we are making to initiate customer partnerships to pursue these markets. We continue to make excellent progress toward establishing a manufacturing partner for high volume production of our low-cost display engine for consumer applications.
"We held our first public demonstration of our laser scanning camera at our shareholder`s meeting in June. The image quality of this prototype camera is exceptional and we are working toward developing partnerships to accelerate product development for a variety of applications that utilize miniature cameras, including medical and biomedical imaging, 2D bar code scanning, and machine vision.
"Development work on automotive displays continues to progress rapidly toward the product development phase for a number of potential applications. In early July, we were awarded a contract by the Electronics Research Lab of Volkswagon of America to develop an advanced prototype display that will be installed in an experimental automobile later this year. We look forward to reporting in more detail the specific application. We also continue to work toward obtaining a design win from BMW and a leading Tier 1 automotive supplier to provide certain automotive displays for the 2006 model year, which would mean higher development revenue for 2004 and leading to product revenue in late 2004 and beyond.
New Developments
"We completed the first phase development contract with a major Asian manufacturer of printers and office equipment to design a new scanning engine for high-speed laser printers. The customer was very happy with the results and we are now in active discussions to continue this development project into a second phase.
"We continue to develop and evaluate both wearable and handheld product concepts for mobile and cellular communications under contract to one of the world`s leading wireless network operators. We are seeing renewed interest in this product category as new portable media products emerge from a variety of the world`s leading technology companies.
"We are enthusiastic about new product directions that Lumera is working on based on its platform materials technology. The company was awarded two new development contracts in the second quarter and we are pleased with the excellent progress Lumera is making on its technology and products.
"We are very pleased with Microvision`s progress and its future prospects on multiple fronts. The company continues to pursue high-growth market opportunities and is rapidly developing new products to expand our product pipeline."

The company, including Lumera, ended the quarter with $11.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities and a contract backlog of $3.4 million.
"The second quarter was a strong quarter for us, with solid financial results and the achievement of a number of very important milestones," said Microvision CEO Rick Rutkowski. "Contract revenue grew sequentially in the second quarter, reflecting higher government contract work and a continued strong level of commercial contract work. The gross profit margin continued to be strong, with this quarter`s margin again exceeding 50%. In addition, the second quarter included several important milestones, such as key deliveries to Canon and BMW and, most notably, the completion of a successful field trial with Honda that subsequently led to a non-binding letter of intent to purchase 3,800 units of our next generation Nomad display as announced by the company on July 31, 2003. We also reported the demonstration of a laser-scanning camera and the development and demonstration of a new microscanner engine that can enable significant improvements in cost, package size, power consumption and reliability across the range of the company`s display and imaging products. This is a breakthrough that is particularly important for the development of affordable miniature display solutions for consumer electronic products such as digital still cameras and camcorders.
"Contract awards in the second quarter were quite strong, with new awards totaling $5.1 million from both government and commercial customers. We continue to build the order pipeline for Flic and expect significantly higher Flic sales in the third quarter. However, our preliminary outlook for the third quarter suggests that total revenue may fall below the $4.2 million that we reported in the same quarter in 2002. This short-term variability is due to uncertainty regarding the timing of new contracts some of which are currently under negotiation. We are, however, actively pursuing several outstanding contract bids that could increase our revenue outlook for the third quarter.
"We believe that our recent letter of intent from Honda sets the stage for substantial growth in product revenue in 2004. We have begun marketing the next generation Nomad display to additional customers in the automotive segment as well as in other markets. We have been asked to conduct a field trial for automotive maintenance with another well-known truck and automaker later this month. We have recently completed a field trial with a military customer where the Nomad`s performance was well received. We plan to build on our early success and potential order with Honda with the aim of creating a significant backlog of orders for the Nomad system during the second half of this year.
"Our letter of intent with Honda is one of the most significant events of the year for Microvision. We believe that the initial indication of 3,800 units represents only a portion of Honda`s potential requirements and that the automotive maintenance and repair market is potentially a very large market for us. Worldwide there are nearly 1.4 million technicians that cover a broad range of automotive and related services, with 1.1 million of those already having access to online digital repair information. As a consequence, we believe that we can address a substantial early adopter segment in this market with the product currently in development.
"Our marketing effort for the Flic bar code scanner continues to focus on developing our distribution channel, increasing end-user product awareness and development of our sales organization. We have also completed several improvements to the product and have scheduled others in order to support a wider range of connectivity options and extend the product`s reach in the market. We have now signed 22 distribution agreements, including our recent agreement with MobilePlanet to market both Flic and our soon-to-be-launched cordless bar code scanner. We continue to have a large number of sales proposals outstanding and we believe that we will begin to see meaningful order flow later this year and significant growth in sales and revenue through 2004. We expect to announce the launch of our Flic cordless bar code scanner very soon. Market interest in this product has been strong and we expect to attract one or more launch customers for this unique product.
"We continue to advance discussions with a number of the world`s leading consumer electronics companies relating to a range of products, including electronic viewfinders for digital cameras and camcorders and displays for gaming and entertainment applications. Each of these represents a significant potential market opportunity and we are encouraged with the rapid progress we are making to initiate customer partnerships to pursue these markets. We continue to make excellent progress toward establishing a manufacturing partner for high volume production of our low-cost display engine for consumer applications.
"We held our first public demonstration of our laser scanning camera at our shareholder`s meeting in June. The image quality of this prototype camera is exceptional and we are working toward developing partnerships to accelerate product development for a variety of applications that utilize miniature cameras, including medical and biomedical imaging, 2D bar code scanning, and machine vision.
"Development work on automotive displays continues to progress rapidly toward the product development phase for a number of potential applications. In early July, we were awarded a contract by the Electronics Research Lab of Volkswagon of America to develop an advanced prototype display that will be installed in an experimental automobile later this year. We look forward to reporting in more detail the specific application. We also continue to work toward obtaining a design win from BMW and a leading Tier 1 automotive supplier to provide certain automotive displays for the 2006 model year, which would mean higher development revenue for 2004 and leading to product revenue in late 2004 and beyond.
New Developments
"We completed the first phase development contract with a major Asian manufacturer of printers and office equipment to design a new scanning engine for high-speed laser printers. The customer was very happy with the results and we are now in active discussions to continue this development project into a second phase.
"We continue to develop and evaluate both wearable and handheld product concepts for mobile and cellular communications under contract to one of the world`s leading wireless network operators. We are seeing renewed interest in this product category as new portable media products emerge from a variety of the world`s leading technology companies.
"We are enthusiastic about new product directions that Lumera is working on based on its platform materials technology. The company was awarded two new development contracts in the second quarter and we are pleased with the excellent progress Lumera is making on its technology and products.
"We are very pleased with Microvision`s progress and its future prospects on multiple fronts. The company continues to pursue high-growth market opportunities and is rapidly developing new products to expand our product pipeline."

Spinoff Technology # 569
Electro-optic polymers
Lumera Corporation (Bothell, WA)
Based on research partially funded by BMDO, Lumera Corporation (Bothell, Wa) has developed a prototype for an electro-opto–polymer-based 10-gigabit modulator that will run reliably, at room temperature, at more than 100 GHz. Devices made with this new material should run at higher operational speeds with lower optical losses, lower power consumption, and lower cost of fabrication than existing devices using inorganic materials.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technology Description:
Using chromophores (organic molecules that are specially engineered to control the propagation of light by means of an applied electric field), Lumera has designed a modulator that could operate at 100 GHz (instead of 10 or 40 GHz) at roughly half the voltage of existing modulators (3 to 4.5 volts instead of 6 to 9 volts), for less cost. The dielectric constant of Lumera’s electro-optic polymer (2.5 to 4) compares favorably to that of the ferroelectric material lithium niobate (28). The refractive index of Lumera’s electro-optic polymer is 1.5 to 1.6, compared to that of lithium niobate with an index of 2.2.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spinoff Applications:
The main application is polymer-based optical communications devices including modulators, switches, and waveguides. A series of electro-opto–polymer-based modulators could be packed into a small space with negligible crosstalk interference. This offers the promise of compact, multi-channel, optical communications links in a small space with very low losses, something that manufacturers of lithium niobate-based modulators cannot hope to match. However, while optical communications is the first market Lumera has chosen to enter, it is not the only segment of the photonics industry that might benefit. Electro-optic polymers might profitably be deployed in displays, sensors, and optical computing. For example: phased-array radar; or three-dimensional integrated photonic and all-optical circuits.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commercialization:
The company is testing the thermal stability of its electro-optic polymer for up to 2,000 hours at 85°C. It plans to ship engineering samples of a 10-gigabit modulator to selected customers including Cisco, Inc. (a major investor in Lumera), before the end of 2002. Lumera thinks it can manufacture units for significantly less than the $6,000 to $15,000 price tag of existing electro-optic modulators. By the second quarter of 2004, the company hopes to introduce an even more powerful 40-gigabit device, and equally hopes to reduce costs down to $1,000 per unit by that time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company Profile:
Lumera is 52 percent owned by Microvision, Inc., of Bothell, WA. Founded in January 2000, Lumera incorporated in January 2001 and received $24 million in first-round financing from a venture capital group that included Cisco, Inc. The number of Lumera employees stands at 32 and its annual revenue is approximately $800,000, 100 percent of which is government contracts and grants. Lumera operates in a facility of 11,500 square feet that contains office and laboratory space and a Class 100 Clean Room.
