HONG KONG, May 15, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- First Ecom.com, Inc. (OTCBB:FECC,BSX:FECCBH), a global provider of electronic payment processing services, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the first quarter of its fiscal year 2000.

First Ecom, which is still in development stage, posted revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 of US$ 4,802. Operating loss for the first quarter of 2000 after amortization, depreciation and non-cash compensation associated with stock options was $ 2,632,051, as compared to the first quarter 1999 operating loss of $ 546,280.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2000 which includes the interest income on the proceeds of the recent private placement was US$ 2,452,712, as compared to the net loss for the first quarter of 1999 of US$ 540,535. Net loss per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was US$ 0.15 per share as compared to the net loss per share of US$ 0.06 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

"We have had a great first quarter," said Gregory Pek, president and CEO of First Ecom.com. "There is a growing willingness on the part of banks in Asia to consider outsourcing their payment processing to us. At present we are in discussions with a number of them to this end. Some of these are major international financial institutions. There is also increasing pressure being brought to bear on banks by businesses for an e-commerce payment solution. They are approaching us, as it is becoming increasingly apparent that First Ecom can provide banks and financial institutions with universal, secure, cost efficient electronic payment solutions that work worldwide, can be up and running quickly and are beneficial for both the bank and the merchant."

Pek added, "During the first quarter of 2000, we completed our first round of funding, raising US$ 45 million; became a full reporting company with the successful filing of our Form 10 with the SEC in the US; became listed on the Bermuda Stock Exchange; signed MOU`s with banks in Hong Kong and Taiwan; formed new alliances and partnerships with leaders in Internet technology; applied for listing on the NASDAQ national market system; strengthened our board and senior management team -- including appointing a Taiwan country manager; announced a joint venture with the Bank of Bermuda in the form of First Ecommerce Data Services; and signed an OEM agreement with Oasis Technology. To start the year in such a positive manner is a great achievement for a company just over one year old. We have laid the foundations for our future success."

The Company`s financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 accompanied the filing of its Form 10-Q with the Securities & Exchange Commission on May 15, which is available on-line at the SEC`s Edgar database at www.freeedgar.com.

und was heist das auf deutsch? danke

[Bullenfalle?]

Auf deutsch heißt es, daß sich der Verlust vervielfacht hat und nun 15 cent je Aktie ausmacht. Das heißt, daß der laden praktisch pleite ist da er aus seinen Produkten nie bedeutende Umsätze generieren wird. Die Insider haben es schon lange gewußt. das erklärt die hohen Kursverluste der letzten Tage bei geringsten Volumina.

[goo]

bullenfalle? geht da aber irgendwie ganz schön emotional ran, obwohl er selbst wohl nicht investiert ist. warum nur? hat ihm hier jemand leid zugefügt? ihr schurken, ihr! ich war`s jedenfalls nicht!

[mendoza]

das erste mal, daß ich von firstecom was fundamentales zu gesicht bekomme: hui, welch ein riesenumsatz. wenn die letzten wochen eins gelehrt haben, dann die tatsache, daß hoch defizitäre concept stocks
vom schlage einer fecc schlicht out sind. naja, trotzdem viel spaß noch...

Scheinbar interessieren sich immer mehr Analysten im Vorfeld des Nasdaq-Listing für First Ecom.com .

Jetzt hat auch das anerkannt seriöse Börsen-Journal "Technology Investor" einen Bericht über First Ecom.com und testiert dieser Firma eine große Zukunft.

U. a. wird darin geschrieben, daß:

- das Angebot im asiatischen Raum in ein sehr stark wachsendes Internet-Geschäft vorstößt
- das Angebot momentan einzigartig ist
- das Management über die besten Kontakte in den asiatischen Ländern verfügt
- die Firma eine ungewöhnlich solide Finanzierungsgrundlage hat
- die heutigen Partnerschaften alleine schon einen höheren Kurs rechtfertigen würden.

Kursaussagen oder Kauf-/Verkaufshinweise werden in diesem Magazin grundsätzlich nicht gemacht. Sie sehen diese Firma aber als eine zukünftige Größe in asiatischen Markt, die weitaus mehr Potential hat, als die meisten amerikanischen Hightech-Aktien.
