So es gibt wieder Neuigkeiten, wenn auch "nur" finanzieller Natur:
Credit Line Bolsters Access to Operational Cash
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 9, 2007--eMagin Corporation (OTCBB:EMAN), a leader in virtual imaging technology, has established a $2.5 million revolving credit facility with Moriah Capital. The company will use the credit line to ensure timely access to working capital.
"We've positively addressed yet another key financial challenge, access to the working capital to fund the growth we've experienced," said K.C. Park Interim CEO and President, eMagin Corporation. "Because we're a manufacturer, the costs related to revenues are incurred 30 to 60 days before receipt of payment. With demand driving revenue increases of more than 100% during the first half of 2007, this timing of cash flows was inhibiting growth. The credit facility links increases in inventory or receivables to increased borrowing capacity."
The agreement with Moriah Capital allows for the company to borrow up to $2.5 million based on qualified receivables and inventory. Additional details surrounding this agreement will be available in an 8K to be filed with the SEC.
About eMagin Corporation
A leader in OLED microdisplay technology and personal display systems, eMagin integrates high-resolution OLED microdisplays with magnifying optics to deliver virtual images comparable to large-screen computer and television displays in portable, low-power, lightweight personal displays. eMagin microdisplays provide near-eye imagery in a variety of products from military, industrial, medical and consumer OEMs. The company's own Z800 3DVisor provides 3D stereovision and headtracking for PC gaming, training and simulation, immersion therapy, and other applications. eMagin's microdisplay manufacturing and R&D operations are co-located with IBM on its campus in East Fishkill, New York. System design facilities and sales and marketing are located in Bellevue, Washington.
Bin froh, daß dieser Kredit nicht über Aktienoptionen läuft sondern, regulät am Kapitalmarkt eingekauft wird:
a) eine Kursverwässerung ist nicht zu befürchten
b) es zeigt, daß Emagin auch Kriterien des Kapitalmarktes erfüllt (mittlerweile kreditwürdig ist)
Emagin begründet die Kreditaufnahme mit dem Zahlungsziel der Käufer, welches 30 - 60 tage nach der Produktion liege. Der nun ermöglichte Kredit gibt Emagin also die Möglichkeit größere Projekte vorzufinanzieren, da er BIS ZU 2,5 Mio beliehen werden kann - also felxibel ist.
Auch wenn sowas immer ein zweischneidiges Schwert ist, denke ich doch, daß sowas zur Expansion nötig ist (und Expansion soll im Q3+4/07 ein großes Thema bei Emagin werden, schenkt man dem Webcast der Konferenz Glauben).
Viele Grüße,

Na ich würde mal sagen, die sind auf Kurs 
Margin Improvements Outpace Revenue Gains
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2007--eMagin Corporation (OTC:EMAN), the leader in OLED microdisplay and personal imaging technologies, has issued preliminary financial results for its second quarter ending June 30, 2007. The results show record revenues with year-over-year revenues improving by 153% for the quarter and 137% for the first six months of 2007.
Financial Summary
-- Revenue for the three and six months ending June 30, 2007, of $4.2 million and $7.8 million represent increases of 153% and 137% from $1.7 million and $3.3 million in 2006. Once again, increases in microdisplay demand fueled the reported growth and eMagin's eighth consecutive quarter of revenue increases.
-- Gross margins in 2007 grew to 30% of revenue or $1.3 million for the quarter and 23% or $1.8 million for the six-month period as compared to gross losses of $1.3 million (77%) of revenue and $2.7 million (81%) of revenue in 2006. These results reflect improvements of $2.6 million and $4.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 2006.
-- Operating expenses declined 32% and 25% from $2.4 million and $5.5 million for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2007, as compared to $3.6 million and $7.4 million in 2006.
-- Operating loss declined 76% for the three months ending June 30, 2007, to $1.1 million from $4.8 million in 2006. Excluding $384,000 of non-cash expenses, the operating losses for the quarter totaled $760,000. For the six-month period, losses were $3.7 million in 2007 down 63% or $6.3 million from $10.1 million in 2006.
-- Net losses for the three and six month periods ending June 2007 were $1.7 million or $0.15 per share and $4.7 million or $0.42 per share as compared to a net loss of $4.8 million or $0.48 per share and $10.0 million or $1.00 per share for the periods in 2006.
eMagin anticipates revenues to exceed $16 million for the full year, ending December 31, 2007. "Built on our pioneering work in OLED microdisplay technology and on-going customer development and support, our combination of manufacturing and financial discipline with marketing focus has enabled us to improve the business substantially during the first half of 2007," said K.C. Park, interim CEO and president, eMagin Corporation. "With this solid footing established we're excited about our opportunities and look forward to continuing our growth."
Full results will be available in the company's 10Q report for the quarter ending June 30, 2007, to be filed with the SEC.
Business Highlights
-- At the Society for Information Display Conference, eMagin demonstrated its new prototype SVGA-3DS microdisplay, which offers both analog and digital signal processing in a compact display (0.44-inch) with greater power efficiency. The world's finest pixel pitch (11.1 microns) device would eliminate the need for extra circuitry and components while allowing for a smaller display module design with increased functionality, with no increase in power consumption.
-- FLIR Systems chose eMagin microdisplays for its innovative ThermaCAM P640 thermal video camera. Ideal for top-level thermography, the P640 can resolve greater detail with smaller targets, yielding more informative and higher quality thermal images.
-- eMagin completed a restructuring of $6.0 million of notes payable extending their maturity dates to December 2008.
Sollte man sich auf der Zunge zergehen lassen.
Morgen höre ich mir noch den Webcast an, dort soll es noch Aussichten für 2007 und die Produktion geben, aber nicht mehr heute abend. Denke, daß ich meine Position hier weiter ausbauen werde.
Vielleicht poste ich ja dann bald mal nicht mehr alleine hier.

Und die Meinung eines ersten Börsenbriefes (10 Tage alt):
Die Experten von “Hot Stocks Investor” halten die eMagin-Aktie ) für spekulativ veranlagte Anleger für interessant.
Bei eMagin handle es sich um einen führenden Hersteller von OLED Microdisplays und Personal Display Systemen.Im Auftaktquartal 2007 habe die Gesellschaft ihren Umsatz gg. VJ um 120% auf 3,6 Mio. USD ausgeweitet. Der Nettoverlust sei von 5,2 Mio. USD auf 2,9 Mio. USD reduziert worden. Der Ausblick für das zweite Quartal sei vom Management angehoben worden. So werde nun ein Umsatz von 4,2 Mio. USD erwartet. Für das Gesamtjahr werde ein Umsatz von mindestens 16 Mio. USD in Aussicht gestellt, was die Experten für sehr konservativ halten würden.
Hinsichtlich einer Marktkapitalisierung von nur 12 Mio. USD dürfte nach Meinung der Experten bei der Aktie noch ein großes Potenzial schlummern.
Spekulanten sollten sich von der eMagin-Aktie im dünnen Handel vorsichtig ein paar Stücke sichern, raten die Experten von “Hot Stocks Investor”.
Webcast startet übrigens um 23 Uhr unserer Zeit.

Trading Spotlight
Was spricht z.Zt. noch für Emagin?
- wie das Management bekannt gab wird der Break-Even für das zweite Halbjahr 07 erwartet
- bei Convertible Notes (mit Ablaufdatum 23.07.07 und 21.01.08) wurde eine Verlängerung bis 21.12.08 erreicht, somit muß man keine Verwässerung des Kurse durch Abstoßung großer Aktienpakete in der nächsten Zeit befürchten (insgesamt geht es um eine Summe von 6,02 Mio. $ http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070725/20070725006332.html?.v=1)
- gute Besetzung mit einem CEO, der bereits bei LG die LCD-Sparte aufgebaut hat.
- Marktkapitalisierung von rund 13 Mio. $
Negativ zu sehen natürlich:
- es werden noch Verluste geschrieben
- es ist ein OTC-Wert
Gerne lasse ich mich auf eine Diskussion ein....
Viele Grüße

So fangen wir erstmal mit den Produkten an. Emagin produziert Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), sprich Displays, die nicht mehr hinterleuchet werden müssen, sondern die einzelnen Pixel leuchten von sich aus. Dies spart im Vergleich zu TFT´s einiges an Strom und ist somit z.B. für portable Anwendungen interessant.
Emagin hat diese OLED´s nun in Personal Display Systems integriert und damit nach dem militärischen Markt auch den zivilen Sektor erschlossen (so werden tragbare Displays angeboten, die wie ein Helm getragen werden und den Spieler/Nutzer quasi in das Spiel hineinversetzen).
Ferner bietet Emagin diese Displays für diverse Anwendungen auch OEM an, also noch nicht verbaut, sondern zu Weiterverwertung in anderen Fremdprodukten, auch in der Medizin werden sowohl Personal Display Systems als Komlettsystem, sowie auch OLED´s als OEM Produkte von Emagin angeboten).
Zum Schluß noch die Homepage des Unternehmens www.emagin.com

Ja vielen Dank, das war ich.... möchte gerne den Thread wieder aufleben lassen, da sich bei EMAN so langsam doch eine interessante Story abzeichnet. Ich werde versuchen in den nächsten Post mal zusammenzutragen, was sich in der letzten Zeit so ergeben hat.
Anbei meine Mail an den Mod, mit der ich diesen Thread wieder zum leben erweckt habe (werde im laufe des Tages noch weitere Fakten, sowie die News der letzten Wochen hier reinstellen):
Hallo und danke für die Antwort,
dies ist mein erster Kontakt sowohl mit einem Mod, als auch mit einem historischen Thread, deswegen bitte ich die evtl. Unkenntnis zu entschuldigen.
ich würde gerne den Thread der Firman Emagin (EMAN, Thread Thema: eMagin und der zukünftige OLED-Milliardenmarkt [Thread-Nr: 812595] ) wieder aufleben lassen. Das Unternehmen hat seit nunmehr 7 Quartalen eine Umsatzverbesserung und eine Entschuldung durchgeführt. Im Q1/07 wurde im Vergleich zu 01/06 ein Umsatzplus von 120% und eine Verlustreduzierung von 5,2 auf 2,9 Mio $ generiert. Umsatzziel für Q2/07 4,2 Mio (Gesamtziel 07: 16 Mio.). Rentabel/Proftabel soll das Unternehmen nach Prognosen der Geschäftsleitung im zeiten Halbjahr 07 werden.
Heute kommen nachbörslich die Quartalszahlen für Q2/07 und es wird in bereits jetzt gemunkelt, daß die Zahlen sehr gut ausfallen könnten (gestern bereits 13% plus mit kleinen Umsätzen in US).
Mein nächstes Vorhaben wäre, die aufgelaufenen News der Firma in den Thread zu stellen, die ersten Börsenbriefe werden auch auf den Titel aufmerksam, so daß ich denke, daß es hier für einige (risikofreudige) Anleger druchaus interessant werden könnte. Ich bin selbst seit einigen Tagen investiert.
Vielleicht wäre es ja möglich unter den von mir angeführten Argumenten den Thread wieder zu öffnen.
Viele Grüße,
Wie gesagt werde nachher weitere Informationen aufarbeiten und posten.
Vielleicht hat ja jemand Interesse.....

eMagin Highlights Military & Homeland Defense Applications at Defense & Security Symposium
Wednesday April 14, 8:15 am ET
Demonstrates fielded applications and discloses rugged performance data for OLED microdisplays
HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 2004--eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA - News) is showcasing innovations in its cutting-edge portfolio of active matrix OLED (organic light emitting diode) microdisplays at booth #137 at the 2004 International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) Defense and Security Symposium, being held through April 16 at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida. At the Symposium, a lecture detailing performance of eMagin`s OLED microdisplay was also presented.
Olivier Prache, eMagin`s Vice President of Product Development, provided a presentation entitled, "Active Matrix OLED for Rugged HMD and Viewfinder Applications." The paper, co-authored by the U.S. Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), focused on characterization of OLED microdisplays for environmentally demanding applications and provided data collected by independent tests by the Army and eMagin.
The results show that the active matrix OLED (AMOLED) microdisplay can intrinsically provide cold-start turn-on and operate at extreme hot and cold temperature conditions, far in excess of displays using liquid crystals (LCDs or LCOS). Methods were presented for improving performance of the AMOLED microdisplay to permit highly consistent luminance response from -40 degrees C to over +80 degrees C (176 degrees F). eMagin`s unique high temperature OLED materials showed functionality to 140 degrees C (284 degrees F). Luminance adjustments were accomplished by a simple temperature compensation modification of the reference voltages of the AMOLED.
Results of lifetime tests were also disclosed in terms of "half-life," the operating time period after which the initial luminance is reduced by half. The room temperature full-on luminance half-life of the SVGA+ full color OLED display translated to more than 15,000 hours of continuous full-motion video usage based on a 25% duty cycle at a typical 50-60 cd/m2 commercial luminance level, or over 60,000 hours half-life in monochrome white usage, or over 100,000 hours luminance half-life in monochrome yellow usage at similar operating conditions. Half-life at typical night vision luminance levels could be several times better. The potential for significant further half-life improvements was discussed.
Unlike liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which require back light and illumination, OLED devices are self-emissive and only require power for the pixel control electronics and on-pixels, which results in far less power consumption in most usage modes such as photographs, lighted text, or full-video. Mr. Prache commented that the OLED can use 5-20 times less power than an equivalent resolution and performance LCD system operating at the same resolution, speed, and to-the-eye luminance.
The natural robustness of the OLED display is well suited to fire and rescue, military, and homeland defense operations where people and equipment can be subject to extreme heat and cold, often changing between environmental extremes over very short periods of time. In his comments, Mr. Prache noted that the rugged performance of a microdisplay could potentially make the difference between life and death for a firefighter or soldier equipped with an infrared camera system going directly from outside winter conditions into a fire and smoke filled building.
Demonstrations offered at the eMagin booth at the Symposium
include:
Kaiser Electro-Optics (a Rockwell Collins Company) ProView (tm) S035 Monocular HMD, equipped with eMagin`s full color SVGA+ 100080 OLED display. This lightweight and rugged water immersible color HMD system can output various instrument and command and control with low power consumption. This technology is also used in the Land Warrior 2.0 HMD display system for inclusion as part of the U.S. Army Land Warrior and other military systems. The S035 is also featured at Kaiser Electro-Optics booth #901 at the Exhibit. (www.keo.com/SO35monocular.htm)
Total Fire Group`s Fire Warrior (tm) helmet mounted thermal imager for firefighting and rescue operations, equipped with eMagin`s monochrome white SVGA+ 100100 OLED display. According to Total Fire Group, in field tests to date, fire officers and firefighters report that search and rescue operation times are reduced by as much as 60% due to the extra flexibility of both normal and camera vision as well as the full use of the firefighter`s hands. Visitors at eMagin`s booth are afforded the opportunity to try on the Fire Warrior helmet system, which provides the firefighter with essential visibility through darkness and smoke. (www.totalfiregroup.com)
eMagin`s prototype binocular entertainment headsets showing high resolution commercially available consumer video games using headsets with integrated Intersense Corporation head motion trackers for combined stereovision and head motion response gaming. Both systems demonstrate the potential for military and homeland defense simulation applications and demonstration of large field of view realistic imaging for security and defense applications.
Thales-Angenieux`s ELVIR (tm) uncooled infrared camera , equipped with eMagin`s OLED microdisplays as announced earlier today, is being demonstrated at Thales` booth # 735.

The results show that the active matrix OLED (AMOLED) microdisplay can intrinsically provide cold-start turn-on and operate at extreme hot and cold temperature conditions, far in excess of displays using liquid crystals (LCDs or LCOS). Methods were presented for improving performance of the AMOLED microdisplay to permit highly consistent luminance response from -40 degrees C to over +80 degrees C (176 degrees F). eMagin`s unique high temperature OLED materials showed functionality to 140 degrees C (284 degrees F). Luminance adjustments were accomplished by a simple temperature compensation modification of the reference voltages of the AMOLED.
Results of lifetime tests were also disclosed in terms of "half-life," the operating time period after which the initial luminance is reduced by half. The room temperature full-on luminance half-life of the SVGA+ full color OLED display translated to more than 15,000 hours of continuous full-motion video usage based on a 25% duty cycle at a typical 50-60 cd/m2 commercial luminance level, or over 60,000 hours half-life in monochrome white usage, or over 100,000 hours luminance half-life in monochrome yellow usage at similar operating conditions. Half-life at typical night vision luminance levels could be several times better. The potential for significant further half-life improvements was discussed.
Unlike liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which require back light and illumination, OLED devices are self-emissive and only require power for the pixel control electronics and on-pixels, which results in far less power consumption in most usage modes such as photographs, lighted text, or full-video. Mr. Prache commented that the OLED can use 5-20 times less power than an equivalent resolution and performance LCD system operating at the same resolution, speed, and to-the-eye luminance.
The natural robustness of the OLED display is well suited to fire and rescue, military, and homeland defense operations where people and equipment can be subject to extreme heat and cold, often changing between environmental extremes over very short periods of time. In his comments, Mr. Prache noted that the rugged performance of a microdisplay could potentially make the difference between life and death for a firefighter or soldier equipped with an infrared camera system going directly from outside winter conditions into a fire and smoke filled building.

Total Fire Group`s Fire Warrior (tm) helmet mounted thermal imager for firefighting and rescue operations, equipped with eMagin`s monochrome white SVGA+ 100100 OLED display. According to Total Fire Group, in field tests to date, fire officers and firefighters report that search and rescue operation times are reduced by as much as 60% due to the extra flexibility of both normal and camera vision as well as the full use of the firefighter`s hands. Visitors at eMagin`s booth are afforded the opportunity to try on the Fire Warrior helmet system, which provides the firefighter with essential visibility through darkness and smoke.
