Kontron - Field Works(WKN 915773) FWRX. Ist ein Aktienkauf von Field Works ratsam? - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[Albatossa]

Hallo Leute,

nachdem Kontron bekannt gegeben hat sich an Field Works zubeteiligen und eventuel auch dort die Aktienmehrheit erobern will, ist es vielleicht auch ratsam sich bei Field Works zubeteiligen! Hat jemand zu diesen Thema eine Meinung? Ich finde wenn es Kontron gelingt diese Firma auf Vorderman zu bringen kann sich dieses Invest durch aus lohnen. Kontron hat ja schließlich bekannt gegeben das bis zum Jahresende bei Field Works wieder positive Zahlen geschrieben werden sollen. Field Works hat eine Börsenkapitalisierung von 8,6 Mio US$, Kurs ca. 1,0$ und eine Millionen Gewinn bei 9 Millionen Aktien. Momentan wird
noch ein Verlust bei FWRX geschrieben!

@Albatossa

Diese Frage kann dir keiner mit Ja oder Nein beantworten.

Aber überlege folgendes :
Ein Mangament, daß eine Firma wie Kontron aus den roten Zahlen bringt und
innerhalb von (glaube) 2 Jahren schwarze Zahlen schreibt, seinen Umsatz um
das 3 fache erhöht, wird wohl wissen welche Firmen sie dazukaufen müssen
um in absehbarer Zeit weltweit die Nr. 1 zu werden und zu bleiben.

Weiterhin ist der Miniatur-Computer-Markt ein derzeit boomendes Geschäft.
Aber Achtung, dieser Bereich unterliegt ebenso wie alle Anderen gewissen Zyklen.
Laut Analysten soll dieser Bereich in den nächsten 2 Jahren weiter wachsen aber
spätestens dann raus da !

Kontron wird bis Mitte/Ende 2001 weiter wachsen und diese Erwartung spiegelt sich
seit Wochen im Kurs wieder. Ich persönlich setze voll auf den 19.Juli, dann werden die
2. Quartalszahlen veröffentlicht. Wir werden uns alle wundern, was diese Firma zustande bringt.

Ich stehe voll hinter Kontron (kein Wunder, bin ja bereits seit 39 Euro dabei).

Bericht vom 22.06.2000

Tagestipp: Kontron Embedded Computers AG <KCB NM> (523990) ist einer der weltweit
führenden Hersteller von “intelligenten“, miniaturisierten Computern mit integrierter
Software(embedded Computers).

Wir haben Ihnen Kontron erstmals im Mai vor dem Hintergrund guter Quartalszahlen empfohlen.
Seitdem konnte der Wert gut zulegen und der schöne Aufwärtstrend im Chart ist heute nach wie
vor ungebrochen. Jetzt hat Kontron die Übernahme der amerikanischen Field Works bekannt
gegeben. Mit dieser Akquisition wird das Unternehmen seine Präsenz im Geschäftsbereich der
mobilen integrierten Computer ausbauen und weltweit zur Nummer Eins avancieren.

Nach Angaben des Vorstandes wird aufgrund dieser Akquisition, die im vierten Quartal
konsolidiert werden soll, ein zusätzliches Umsatzwachstum von etwa 15 Mio. DM auf insgesamt
195 Mio. DM im Geschäftsjahr 2000 erreicht. Das derzeitige Kurs-Gewinn-Verhältnis von rund 70
für 2001 erscheint angesichts der guten Wachstumsaussichten gerechtfertigt. Weiterhin
KAUFEN.

wenn es nur kleinanleger waren, waren es wohl recht viele. 40000 Stück Umsatz in Frankfurt + Xetra . Allerdings denke ich, daß Kontron so langsam beginnt teuer zu werden. Also aufpassen!

Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen. Eine Anmerkung jedoch:
Gute Unternehmen sind dauerhaft teuer bzw. zu teuer.

Hallo Leute,

hier der offiziele Wortlaut vom Yahoo - Board.
Das interessanteste an der Medung ist; das FieldWorks Aktien für 1,00US$ pro Stück von Kontron gekauft wurden. Momentan wird FieldWorks an der NASDAQ mit 0,88US$ gehandelt. Für Risikobewußte Anleger tut sich hier ein gewisses Spekulationspotential auf.
Sollten die Gewinnerwartung, wie sie Kontron für das 4. Quartal von FieldWorks erwartet,zutreffen und sich ins nächste Jahr fortsetzen, dann ist FieldWorks momentan stark unterbwertet. Nach meiner Rechnung erwarte ich für FWRX einen Gewinn von 17 Cent pro Aktie(bei 24Mio Aktien nach Kapitalerhöhung) für das Jahr 2001. Selbst wenn das KGV bei 12 liegt hat die Aktie 100% potential.

FieldWorks Announces Agreement with Kontron Embedded Computers; Agreement Will Provide Capital Infusion of $2.5 Million and option for Kontron to Acquire Majority in Fieldworks Shares
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., June 20 /PRNewswire/ --

FieldWorks Inc. (Nasdaq: FWRX - news), a leading provider of mobile embedded computers, today announced the signing of an agreement for a $2.5 million loan from Kontron Embedded Computers, an embedded computer manufacturer headquartered in Munich, Germany.

Kontron will provide $2.5 million for continuing operations in exchange for a subordinated note, and warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of FieldWorks common stock at $1. The note will bear interest at 11% per annum and mature in September 2001. It is anticipated that the closing of this transaction will occur later this month.

As part of the agreement, FieldWorks will grant an option to Kontron to purchase 7.75 million shares of FieldWorks common stock at a total purchase price of $7.75 million through August 15, 2000. In addition, Kontron and Industrial-Works Holding Co., LLC, (Glenmount) have entered into an agreement which would allow Glenmount to sell to Kontron a portion of their holdings of FieldWorks convertible preferred stock (convertible into three million shares of FieldWorks common stock) in exchange for 60,000 shares of Kontron stock. If Kontron exercises its option, FieldWorks will seek shareholder approval of the issuance of common stock to Kontron and the sale of Glenmount`s shares to Kontron prior to the closing of these transactions.

Following the closing of these transactions, Kontron would own a controlling interest in FieldWorks owning 12 million shares.

Assuming Kontron exercises its option, then subject to customary closing conditions and shareholder approval, it is anticipated that the closing of these equity transactions would occur in October 2000.

Dave Mell, FieldWorks president and CEO, stated ``We are extremely optimistic about the potential synergy of FieldWorks and Kontron and the benefits of this partnership. Significant leverage can be obtained in product development and design, streamlining existing product lines and in worldwide distribution of products. Additionally, with Kontron`s subsidiary Teknor being a charter member of Intel`s Applied Computing Platform Provider program, there is capability for leading edge product development.``

Hannes Niederhauser, president of Kontron added ``FieldWorks brings tremendous market opportunity in the United States where approximately 42% of the embedded computer technology market exists. We expect great benefit from their established customer base and sales distribution channels. Within the next 8 weeks we will participate in the development of a new business plan for FieldWorks to identify improvements based on realizing the synergy effects within the two companies -- in the short term in sales, production and procurement, and in the long term, also in research & development.

Hallo Leute,

hier die neuste Nachricht von FieldWorks! Der neue Vertrag mit Franklin Police Department ist bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht im Kurs enthalten. Zu bedenken ist, das Kontron indirekt am deal beteiligt ist. Denkt mal darüber nach was an diesem Deal noch alles daran hängt. Auch die Polizei benötigt die beste Technologie zur Verbrechensbekämfung. Vielleicht wird durch diese Strategie noch weitere Police Department zum Wechsel auf FieldWorks Technologie verführt!

FieldWorks and Kontron Enter Operating Agreement; Kontron Exercises Revised Equity Option to Acquire Six Million Common Shares of FieldWorks
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ --

FieldWorks Inc. (Nasdaq: FWRX - news), a leading solution provider and mobile computer supplier for demanding field applications, today announced that it has entered into an operating agreement with Kontron Embedded Computers AG, an embedded computer manufacturer headquartered in Munich, Germany. In addition, FieldWorks announced that Kontron exercised an amended equity option to acquire 6 million shares of common stock of FieldWorks for a purchase price of $5.4 million.

Under the operating agreement, Kontron promises to provide FieldWorks with timely completion of existing product development programs in fourth quarter 2000 with substantial costs absorbed by Kontron. The agreement guarantees FieldWorks that production requirements for its FW5000 and FW2000 products will be satisfied on a timely basis and at a significantly lower cost than FieldWorks` existing product cost. The operating agreement also provides for Kontron to use its best efforts to expand FieldWorks` revenues through distribution of FieldWorks products in Europe. The agreement continues through December 2001.

Under the amended equity option exercised by Kontron, Kontron will acquire 6 million shares of common stock of FieldWorks for a purchase price of $5.4 million. In addition, the option Kontron previously granted to Industrial-Works Holding Co., LLC (``IWHC``) has been amended. As amended, IWHC has an option to acquire 62,000 shares of Kontron in exchange for preferred shares of FieldWorks that are convertible into 3.4 million shares of FieldWorks common stock. The closing of these transactions is subject to shareholder approval, the exercise of IWHC`s option and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

FieldWorks expects that a special shareholder meeting will be held in early October and, upon satisfaction of all closing conditions, the final closing of these transactions would occur on December 1, 2000. Upon closing of each of these transactions, Kontron would own in excess of 10.3 million common shares on an as if converted basis, representing over 51 percent of the common stock of FieldWorks on an as if converted basis.

As a result of these announcements, FieldWorks will contact the Nasdaq Listing Department to determine the continued listing status of the FieldWorks common stock on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market. While FieldWorks net tangible assets will exceed the minimum requirements of Nasdaq as a result of these transactions, FieldWorks has previously fallen below the minimum net tangible listing requirements.

Hallo Leute,

es geht wirklich Schlag auf Schlag. In zwei Tagen zwei Meldungen bei FieldWorks ist fast sensationell. Kaum hat Kontron Fieldworks mehrheitlich übernommen, schon wird die gesamte Firma neuausgerichtet.
Wie heißt es so schön "umstrukturiert und stromlinienförmlich". Nebenbei wird das Personal ersteinmal um 10% verkleinert, nehme mal an da geht es um Personen die nicht zu der neuen Firmenphilosophie passen und dies soll alles in 6Wochen über die Bühne gehen. In den Staaten gilt ja das Prinzip "Higher and Firer", ob dies immer gut?

Hallo Leute,

hier noch einen Nachschlag zur Übernahme von FieldWorks durch Kontron!

Gruß AlbatossaKontron übt Option auf Mehrheitserwerb der Fieldworks aus
von Redaktion WO [W:O] 18.08.00 14:50:01 1608145
ECHING (dpa-AFX) - Die Kontron Embedded Computers AG (KBC) hat ihre Option auf den Erwerb einer Aktienmehrheit an der US-amerikanischen Fieldworks Inc ausgeübt. Der Aufstockung des Anteils auf 51% müsse noch die Fieldworks-Hauptversammlung am 1. Dezember 2000 zustimmen, teilte das am Frankfurter Neuen Markt notierte Unternehmen am Freitag mit.

Wie Kontron mitteilte, soll die Übernahme der Fieldworks in drei Schritten erfolgen. Kontron wolle zunächst die sechs Millionen Aktien erwerben, die im Zuge einer Kapitalerhöhung auf 20,1 Mio. Aktien von Fieldworks ausgegeben werden. Der Preis betrage 0,90 USD pro Aktie. Zweitens werde das Unternehmen 62.000 junge Kontron-Aktien gegen 3,4 Mio. aus Altbesitz stammende Fieldworks- Aktien tauschen. Drittens würden noch 0,9 Mio. Fieldworks-Aktien aus Altbesitz erworben. Damit erreiche Kontron einen Gesamtanteil von 10,3 Mio. Stückaktien.

Die Fieldworks ist nach Kontron-Angaben ein führender Anbieter von mobilen miniaturisierten Computern in Nordamerika. Fieldworks plane im Geschäftsjahr 2000 einen Umsatz von 25 Mio. Euro. Im Zuge der Übernahme hofft Kontron, dass die Fieldworks auf Grund der Synergie-Effekte innerhalb kürzester Zeit profitabel wird./jb/cs/ub

Hallo Leute,

ich will euch mal an Hand von zwei Chart mal zeigen welches Potenzial
FieldWorks entwickeln könnte. Kontron hat sich ja Zeit gelassen und dann praktisch zum Tiefskurs FieldWorks mehrheitlich übernommen. Eigenentlich hatte es jeder gewußt und ist auch seit mitte Juni bekannt das da was passieren mußte. Kontron hat durch diesen deal einige Partnerschaften und etliche Verträge hinzugewonnen. Jetzt wird sich jeder Fragen warum hat Kontron nicht FieldWorks gleich komplett geschluckt? Für mich beantwortet sich die Frage dahin, das FieldWorks sehr viele Verträge mit den Police Departments hat und jeder sollte doch wissen das die Amerikaner doch ziemlich Nationalistisch
sind. Was würde den passieren, wenn urplötzlich bei der Polizei in einem sehr wichtigen Polizeigerät deutsche Firmentechnik mit den Namen von Kontron auftaucht! Es würde einen Aufschrei wegen der verletzte nationalen Sicherheit geben.
Für mich hat Kontron die Sache mit FieldWorks sehr geschickt gemacht, man übernimmt die Mehrheit und läßt den Namen auch weiterhin bestehen. So ist die Polizei in den Staaten glücklich weil sie angeblich immer noch ein amerikanisches Produkt in den Händen hält und obendrein gibt es auch kein problem mit der nationalen Sicherheit.

Für uns Aktionäre von FWRX lohnt sich die Sache mit längerfristig steigende Kurse. Und was hat der Kurs heute gemacht, er stieg auf 1,25$. Da lacht das Aktionärsherz!

Gruß Albatossa

[Albatossa]

Hallo Leute,

ich bin mal wirklich gespannt ob FieldsWorks den prognostizierten Gewinn von $ 1Mio. bis Jahresende schafft. Dies wäre immerhin ein Gewinn von 11 Cent pro Aktie. Auf Grund dieser Gewinnerwartung schätze ich das Kurzpotenzial bis Feb.2001 auf 2,50$ ein!

Kontron beteiligt sich an TMC

Die Kontron Embedded gab heute bekannt, sich mit 8 Prozent an dem
südostasiatischen Embedded Computer-Unternehmen Taiwan Mycomp Corp.
beteiligt zu haben.

Demnach teilte der Vorstand mit, dass Kontron im Rahmen einer
Kapitalerhöhung bei TMC 2 Millionen Aktien zum Preis von ca. DM 2,4 Mio. -
und damit Anteile in Höhe von 8 Prozent - erworben hat.

Die Vereinbarung sehe vor, dass Kontron bis spätestens Frühjahr 2001 die
Mehrheit an TMC erwerben wird.

Durch einen geschlossenen Kooperationsvertrag wird TMC für die stark
wachsende Kontron-Gruppe Fertigungskapazitäten sowie Logistik- und
Einkaufsleistungen im Rahmen eines Supply-Chain-Management-Konzepts
bereitstellen. Das Unternehmen erreichte im letzten Jahr ein Gesamtumsatz
von über 100 Mio. DM, davon entfallen rund 40 Prozent auf die USA, 40 Prozent

Hallo Leute,

Fieldworks hat die 200Tagelinie heute überwunden. Die nächste Widerstandlinie sehe ich aus dem 5 Jahreschart bei ca. 2,00$, dieser Widerstand ist meines verachten sehr schwach ausgeprägt. Die nächste großer Widerstandslinie und entscheidene Widerstandslinie liegt bei 2,80$. Erst wenn die Aktie die 2,80US$ überwindet, dann ist Fieldworks über dem Berg! Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher das Fieldworks mit der Handschrift von Kontron dieses Ziel schaffen!

Hallo Leute,

will diesen Threat mal wieder ins Gedächnis zurück holen. Habe in der Zwischenzeit mit Kontron telefoniert und mir wurde gesagt das bei FieldWorks alles nach Plan läuft. Ich habe auch nicht die geringste Zweifel das FieldWorks den Breakeven bis zum Jahresende schaffen wird.
Kontron hat ein sehr starkes interesse an FieldWorks, den mit dieser Strategie will Kontron vom US-Markt eine große Scheibe abschneiden.

[Mi, 25. Okt 2000] Kontron Embedded Computers AG: Integrationsprogramm zur Einbindung jüngster Akquisitionen:
Konzentration auf drei Märkte / Steigerung der Wertschöpfung beabsichtigt / Erweiterung um drei Vorstände / Kooperation mit Memotec Inc.
Fortsetzung:
München, 25. Oktober 2000. Die Kontron Embedded Computers AG, seit dem 06. April dieses Jahres am Neuen Markt der Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse notiert, wird ihre Tätigkeiten in Zukunft auf drei vertikale Märkte konzentrieren: Telekommunikation, Automatisierung und Mobile Computing. Zur Bearbeitung dieser Märkte hat das Unternehmen jeweils eine eigene Business Unit gegründet. Diese sind Teil eines Intergrationskonzeptes der Kontron AG, die damit ihre jüngsten Akquisitionen organisatorisch und personell in das Unternehmen einbindet. Die Business Unit Telekom basiert auf der Teknor/Kanada und der Kontron/Deutschland und hat ihren Hauptsitz in Kanada. Das globale Kompetenzzentrum für Automatisierung entsteht aus der Pep GmbH mit Sitz in Deutschland. FieldWorks/USA und Kontron bilden die Business Unit Mobile Computing mit Hauptsitz in den USA. Im Rahmen dieses Intergrationsprogramms wurde auch das Management um drei Vorstände erweitert. Claude Letourneau leitet die Unit Telekom, Ulrich Gehrmann wird der Unit Automation vorstehen und Thomas Sparrvik verantwortet den Bereich Mobile Computing. Alle drei Business Units sind in den Hauptzielmärkten Europa, Nordamerika und Fernost präsent.

Im Rahmen des Integrationskonzeptes hat Kontron für die Business Unit Telekom eine Kooperation mit der kanadischen Memotec Communications Inc. abgeschlossen. „Die Vereinbarung beinhaltet die technologische Zusammenarbeit sowie ein Lizenzabkommen im Bereich Telekom-Software“, so der Kontron-Vorstand.

Mit der Konzentration auf Spezialtechnologie in den drei Märkten ist eine Erhöhung der Wertschöpfung bis 2003 um weitere fünf Prozent beabsichtigt. Kontron wird durch die Umstrukturierung zum Anbieter von Komplettlösungen in den entsprechenden Segmenten.

Hallo Leute,

damit dürfte die personelle Rotation bei FieldWorks ein Ende gefunden haben. Der neueCEO ist Thomas Sparrvik.

Für mich waren die gestrigen Zahlen eigentlich nicht so schlecht. Wichtig ist doch das Kontron organisch weiter wächst und dies geschied auch weiterhin. In wie weit die Kosten für den Börsengang in die Zahlen von Kontron eingeflossen sind, wäre schon interessant zu wissen. Ich nehme mal an, das werden wir bald auch erfahren!

so kann mann sich auch sehr günstig die absolute Mehrheit an FieldWorks beschaffen. Der Markt hatte wieder einmal stark übertrieben und damit tat sich für Kontron eine wirklich sehr günstige Gelegenheit auf um bei FieldWorks die Beteiligung zu erhöhen. Ich bin sehr sicher das der Laden von Fieldworks bald brummen wird! Ich werde meine Anteile nochmals erhöhen, so eine schöne Chance kann ich mir einfach nicht entgehen lassen.

Hallo Leute,

hier der letzte Update über Fieldworks. Kontron hat Fieldworks mehrheitlich übernommen. Was doch sehr auffällt, das der Kurs trotz dieser eigentlich bekannte Aussage nach oben geht! Es scheint gerade so, das die meisten dies noch nicht realisiert haben, das die aussagen von Kontron tatsächlich umgesetzt werden. Ich will an dieser Stelle nochmals erinnern das laut Aussage von Kontron noch dieses Jahr schwarze Zahlen geschrieben werden. Fieldworks wird vom Markt mit gerademal 7,5 Mio $ bewertet. Sollte sich das positive Geschäftsergebnis einstellen, dann steht Fieldworks vor einer Neubewertung!

Kontron: US Tochter FieldWorks - ein Sanierungsfall?
11.01.2001

In einer Stellungnahme erläuterte Vorstandsmitglied Dr. Wieczorek die momentane Lage bei der amerikanischen FieldWorks, an der Kontron kürzlich einen 62prozentigen Anteil erworben hatte. So hat Kontron erst im Dezember wirksame Maßnahmen in den USA einleiten können, um die hohen Verluste von FieldWorks zu reduzieren. Dazu gehört unter anderem ein neuer CEO sowie ein drastischer Personalabbau, im Zuge dessen der Personalstand von 80 auf 50 Personen gekürzt wurde. Neben einer Senkung der Inhouse-Kosten wird auch im Bereich Inventory-Management kein Stein auf dem anderen bleiben. So ist geplant, die Produktion nach Taiwan, Deutschland und Tschechien auszulagern, um Kosten zu sparen. Dr. Wieczorek ist optimistisch, daß das Maßnahmenpaket schon in dem kommenden Quartalsergebnis zu einem operativen Gewinn führen wird. Die Goodwill-Abschreibungen werden allerdings das Ergebnis von Kontron über einen längeren Zeitraum belasten. Man rechnet hier über einen Zeitraum von 10 bis 15 Jahren mit einem Betrag in der Größenordnung zwischen 5 und 7 Mio. Euro.

Auf die starken Kursverluste der letzten Tage angesprochen, erklärte eine Unternehmenssprecherin, daß es dafür eigentlich keine rationalen Gründe gäbe. Es sei weder eine Lock-up Periode abgelaufen, noch hätte das Unternehmen negative Nachrichten herausgebracht. Am 18. Januar endet allerdings die Haltefrist der 3i-Group, die bereits bis Oktober 1999 ihren Anteil an Kontron von ursprünglich 15% auf 11% reduziert hatte. Laut Kontron will 3i die restlichen Anteile innerhalb der nächsten 4 Jahre in größeren Blöcken an der Börse veräußern. Man könnte nun spekulieren, daß 3i bei dem momentan niedrigen Kurs noch abwarten dürfte. Sollte sich die Venture-Capital-Gesellschaft allerdings zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt von einem Großteil der Aktien trennen, dürfte der Kurs von Kontron weiterhin unter Druck bleiben.

Fieldworks Awarded Contract in Excess of $4 Million by United States Army; Rugged, Mobile Data Servers Will Support Army Field Information System
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ --

FieldWorks Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: FWRX - news), a leading provider of rugged, mobile computers, today announced it has received a contract valued at more than $4 million from the United States Army involving the FW2000 Mobile Data Server -- one of the company`s flagship products.

Ich nehme an, du meinst die Sanierung von Fieldworks macht Fortschritte.
Wie auch immer, es ist auf jeden Fall schön zu sehen.

[Albatossa]

Hallo contrary_opinion,

ja ich meine FieldWorks! Bei Kontron ist im Moment alles im grünen Bereich. Das Sorgenkind FieldWorks scheint nun auch auf den Pfad der Tugend gebracht worden sein. Der Vertrag mit der US Army ist erst der Anfang der Story, es werden weitere Aufträge folgen. Denkt nur mal an all die vielen Polizeistationen in den Staaten. Außerdem wird Kontron über Fieldworks versuchen besser an die amerikanische Firmen zu kommen, wie z.b. Telefongesellschaften u.s.w. Man bedenke nur, das FieldWorks mit 6,5Mio. US$ an der Börse gehandelt wird und der Umsatz allein dieses Jahr beweiten übertreffen wird. Außerdem geht Kontron davon aus das im diesem Quartal erstmals schwarze Zahlen geschrieben werden. In der Zwischenzeit habe ich keine Zweifel mehr daran. Eigentlich tut sich für uns Aktionäre hier eine wunderbare Chance auf und das schöne daran ist, man schreibt hier alles nieder und keiner merkt es. Ich baue ständig mit keine Beträge monatlich mein Depot bei Fieldworks aus. Wann bekommt man schon so eine schöne Chance. Das letztemal hatte ich diese Chance vor zwei Jahre bei Hurrican HHLA.TO , schau dir mal den Chart der letzten 2 Jahre von dieser Firma bei Yahoo an! Gibt auch einen sehr interessanten Threat hier am Board. Mehr will ich nicht dazu sagen. Hier ist eine Firma auf dem Weg der Besserung und wenn dies erreicht wird und FieldWorks auch wieder das NASDAQ Listing erreicht, dann sehen wir eine ganz andere Bewertung als heute!

Hallo Albatussi,
die "sanierung" von kontron hättest du wohl gerne. insgeheim passt es dir nicht, dass mit kontron alles
gut läuft aber bei fieldworks deine spekulation nicht aufgeht und keiner deinen schon peinlichen anpreisungen folgt und damit der kurs endlich steigt. es nervt
langsam, dass du jedes mal fieldworks ins spiel bringt, sobald sich jemand zu kontron äußert. gibs zu, dass
deine rechnung nicht aufgeht und trags wie ein mann

Hallo WarmesBuffet,

natürlich ist FieldWorks eine Spekulation von mir, so wie alle Aktienkäufe die ich an der Börse gemacht habe! Der einzige Unterschied zwischen euch Tagestrader und mit ist einfach der Zeitfaktor, Zeit davon habe ich jede Menge, und mein Wissensvorsprung! Wenn du sehr aufmerksam alles durchgelesen hättest, dann würdest du auch feststellen, daß ich auch Kontronaktionäre bin! Wann eine Aktie anspringt ist mir persönlich egal, ich habe bei Met@box auch zwei Jahre gewartet! Wichtig ist der Zeitpunkt des Einstieges und nicht wenn die Hamelherde anfängt zu laufen! Ich bin bei Kontron bei 39 Euro eingestiegen, zu einem Zeitpukt wo ihr fast alle verächtlich über Kontron gelästert, außer Seafort. Und wenn ich hier am Board für eine Aktie werbe dann ist das noch lange nicht verboten! Hier trage ich seit ein paar Monate wichtige Firmeninformation zusammen und jeder kann mit dieser Information anfangen was er will! Auch kann er wie @WarmesBuffet, wie ein Squaw irgend etwas von sich geben. Das die Firmengeschichte von Kontron und und FieldWorks genauso zusammenhängen wie Story von VW und Audi muß man wahrscheinlich hier jeden auf die Nase binden!
Bei LAMBDA PHYSIK AG braucht man nicht so viel nachdenken, ist für Daytrader wirklich eine schöne Sache morgens mit 58 Euro rein und Abend mit Gewinn oder Verlust raus! Viel Spass an die Oberzocker! Wie sagt doch mein Freund "Kostolany" die Chartanalysten und Zocker die er kannte sind schon alle Pleite!

Hallo Leute,

die Zahlen sind endlich da und sie sind sehr schlecht!
FieldWorks konnte seine Umsatz weiter minimieren und die Verluste auf stolze -1,92 US$ steigern. Da kann man wirklich die Handschrift von Kontron erkennen! Eine Steigerung von fast 200 % bei den Verlusten ist wirklich nicht zu verachten! Wo bleibt da die angekündigte Synergieeffekte? Ich glaube, da hat Kontron den Mund etwas zu voll genommen. Hatte man nicht angekündigt, das im letzten Quartal von Fieldworks positive Zahlen geschrieben werden?(Laut dem Vorstand wird FWRX.OB konsolidiert.) Tatsächlich wurde nur ein kleiner Verlust von 0,43 US$ gemacht. ($0.43 per share, as compared to a net loss of $1.4 Mio.)

FieldWorks Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2000 Results
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., March 2 /PRNewswire/ --

FieldWorks Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: FWRX - news), a leading provider of field solutions, today announced fourth quarter 2000 revenue of $3.9 million, a 44 percent decrease over 1999 fourth quarter revenue of $7.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2000, revenue totaled $15.7 million, down 37.9 percent over 1999 revenue of $25.3 million.

The Company`s decrease in sales for the year 2000 was primarily attributable to the delay of the introduction of the 8000 Series Workstation as a result of development and testing delays, and a decrease in unit sales volumes of the 5000 Series.

The Company`s net loss for the fourth quarter in 2000 was $4.4 million, or $0.43 per share, as compared to a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.15 per share, for the same period in 1999. For 2000, the Company`s net loss totaled $17.7 million, or $1.92 per share and for 1999 the loss was $5.4 million, or $0.61 per share. Gross profit (loss) for 2000 was (11) percent of revenues and for 1999 was 29 percent of revenues. Discontinuance of the Company`s FW5000 Series product contributed significantly to the Company`s net loss through inventory write offs and disposal of related tooling. Despite the decision to discontinue the 5000 Series product on a going forward basis, the Company will continue to deliver 5000 Series products pursuant to existing contracts with customers.

Looking ahead to first quarter 2001, the Company expects to complete its previously announced integration process with Kontron Embedded Computers AG, a worldwide leader in embedded computing. Kontron has purchased approximately 65 percent of FieldWorks shares and the Company has initiated a comprehensive restructuring program. Additionally, the Company anticipates that research and development costs will be shared with Kontron in the future and synergy will be gained by the combined efforts. The Company also anticipates the reduction of general and administrative expenses of 60 percent compared to 2000 and that this will remain at a level less than the growth of sales in the future. The emphasis for 2001 is growth in revenue with significant cost control. During the first quarter of 2001, FieldWorks is supplying a major contract from the United States Army valued at more than $4 million.

FieldWorks, Inc., founded in 1992, designs, sells and supports computer solutions in field environments including transportation, military/government and public service worldwide. FieldWorks provides a complete solution to customers that includes product customization, integration and customer support services.

Hallo Leute,

hier noch der neuste Namen von FieldWorks! Ab den 16.April 2001 wird der neue Namen "Kontron Mobile Computing" verwendet!

Was mir hier noch besonders auffällt, das niemand von Kontron ein interesse am NASDAQ listing hat? Es sieht fast so aus, das man sich im Freiverkehr einfach besser verstecken kann, damit die Firmenzahlen nicht an die Öffentlichkeit kommmen. Anscheinend ist Kontron ein listing an der NASDAQ unangenehm und man müßte endlich seine ganze Abschreibungspolitik bekannt geben. Auch Insiderverkäufe müßten dann vorangemeldet werden. Ich sehe in dieser Firmenpolitik eine gewisse Mauschelei und Hintergehung der Aktionäre. Es ist auch noch nicht sicher gestellt, ob die Kleinaktionäre aus FieldWorks (Kontron Mobile Computing) mit Gewalt hinausgedrängt werden. Obwohl die Informationpolitik von Kontron über FieldWorks destruktiv ist, so läßt sich aus Erfahrungswerte an der Börse durchaus
herauslesen, das die restlichen Aktionäre hintergangen und verdrängt werden sollen! Ob dies auch gut ist für die Aktie Kontron am NM bezweifele ich sehr. Sollte in bälde ein Kaufangebot euch von Kontron in Haus flattern, so würde ich dieses Angebot sehr gründlich prüfen!

FieldWorks Announces Name Change to Kontron Mobile Computing; Adds Kontron Computing Products to its Portfolio
New Name Reflects Combined Rugged, Mobile Computing Operations of Two Leading Firms
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., March 5 /PRNewswire/ --

FieldWorks, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: FWRX - news), a leading provider of rugged, mobile computers, announced today that effective April 16, 2001, it will begin doing business around the world as Kontron Mobile Computing -- the North America-based, mobile computing affiliate of Kontron Embedded Computers AG, Munich, Germany.

The new name reflects the combination of the mobile computing businesses previously operated separately by FieldWorks and Kontron Embedded Computers which will now be operated under the Kontron Mobile Computing name, and follows a series of transactions in which Kontron Embedded Computers acquired a majority interest in FieldWorks in late 2000.

``Today`s announcement formalizes a stage in the partnership between Kontron and FieldWorks which has been in preparation for some time,`` said Thomas Sparrvik, president and CEO, FieldWorks. ``Under the name Kontron Mobile Computing, we now will manage the mobile computing brands, products and development expertise of both FieldWorks and Kontron under one roof. As such, we`ll offer a wider array of products and services for our customers, we`ll broaden our coverage in key, high-growth markets around the world and we`ll enhance our ability to develop new products aggressively and deliver them quickly.``

In advance of the name change, FieldWorks has already added several Kontron mobile computing products to its mobile computing product line, including the Kontron PowerLite, IN Rave and FieldLite mobile computers. The Kontron products complement FieldWorks` existing line, which includes rugged, mobile data servers for in-vehicle applications and portable workstations for field data acquisition.

``By investing in FieldWorks, with its strong U.S. presence and well-known design and marketing expertise, Kontron continues its aggressive pursuit of solid strategic partnerships and creation of new centers of competence in key markets around the world,`` said Hannes Niederhauser, president, Kontron Embedded Computers. ``Under the leadership of Thomas Sparrvik and his management team, Kontron Mobile Computing will further strengthen Kontron`s competitive position in the global computing market and contribute to our plans for continued, rapid growth.``

Since December 2000, Kontron Embedded Computers has acquired majority positions in FieldWorks and several related companies, including Teknor Applicom, Montreal, a leading supplier of applied computing solutions for telecommunications, Internet, industrial automation and mobile computing applications; PEP Modular Computers, Kaufbeuren, Germany, which provides high-tech solutions for industrial automation; and Taiwan Mycomp Corp. (TMC), Taipei, Taiwan, which specializes in the development and production of embedded computer boards for use in logistics, transport and automation systems.

The newly named Kontron Mobile Computing will remain headquartered in FieldWorks` existing U.S. facility in Eden Prairie, Minn., with sales, service and manufacturing locations worldwide. The company will continue to be traded on the U.S. Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol ``FWRX.`` The company plans to retain the name FieldWorks as a brand name for selected products within its portfolio, and further details will be announced in coming weeks, company officials said.

Schweizer Banken steigen bei Kontron ein

Die am Neuen Markt notierte Kontron, ein Hersteller von Minicomputern, musste in den vergangenen Wochen einen Kursrückgang von über 50% hinnehmen und rutschte dabei sogar unter den Ausgabepreis. Nach Meinung der Experten der Euro am Sonntag fand dieser Kursrutsch zu unrecht statt. Das schlechte Börsenumfeld habe Fondsmanager und institutionelle Anleger aus den USA zu Verkäufen getrieben. Auch das Auslaufen der Lockupfrist habe den Kurs zusätzlich unter Druck gesetzt. Die Kontron-Altaktionäre haben ihre Aktien allerdings behalten.

In den vergangenen Tagen war bei Kontron ein deutlicher Anstieg der Handelsvolumina zu verzeichnen. Kontron-Chef Hannes Niederhauser erklärt sich das mit dem Einstieg Schweizer Großbanken: "Sowohl die UBS als auch die Credit Suisse kaufen größere Pakete."

In der kommenden Zeit soll der Kurs vor allem durch positive Nachrichten aus Asien beflügelt werden.

Die Experten der EuramS empfehlen die Aktie deshalb zum Kauf.

Hallo Leute,

heute hat FieldWorks seine Quartalzahlen bekannt gegeben! Immerhin wurde ein bescheidener Gewinn von 4 Cent erreicht, wenn man bedenkt das sich die Aktienzahl fast verdoppelt hat so ist dies zumindest einmal ein halbwegs guter Ansatz. Ob sich diese Zahlen auch weiter schreiben lassen kann ich aus den vorhandenen Quartalsbericht noch nicht herauslesen zumal von Kontron nach gehabter Art des Hauses einfach keine Stellungsnahme vorzufinden ist. Der Kurs hat auf diese Zahlen auch nicht besonders reagiert und konnte seinen Top von 1,00 $ nicht verteidigen, wahrscheinlich sind die Amerikaner auch etwas reserviert zu diese Zahlen eingestellt und erwarten keine weitere positive Tendenzen zu Fieldworks. Zur Erinnerung möchte ich nochmals an die ergeizigen Pläne von CEO der Kontron AG hinweisen der von einen Gewinn von sogar 1 US $ für das Jahr 2001 sprach. Von diesen 1,00$ Gewinn ist FieldWorks noch sehr weit weg und fast alle Aktionäre glaube auch heute noch nicht daran, was der Kurs in Amerika auch heute bewiesen hat. Ein Aktienkauf bis 1,00$ halte ich unter hochspeckulativen Aussichten gerade noch für angemessen, weil mit kaum abschätzbaren Marktentwicklung zu rechnen ist. Das gilt auch für Kontron weil auch hier die Marktentwicklung unbererechenbar und kaum abschätzbar ist.

Hallo Leute,

habe mir die Zahlen von Fieldworks etwas genauer angeschaut!
Der Gewinn wurde dadurch erreicht das die Kosten von Forschung und Entwicklung um ca. 800 000,00$ gesenkt wurden!
Rechnet man diesen Betrag heraus, so arbeitet FieldWorks auch weiterhin im negativen Bereich und der Gewinn würde sich in einen Verlust von ca. 580 000,00DM oder 2 Cent verwandeln.
Fazit: FieldWorks kann ohne Kontron nicht mehr allein überleben und kann dadurch auch nie wieder veräußert werden, weil die ganze Firma auch weiterhin hohe Verluste produziert!

Ad-hoc-Mitteilung übermittelt durch die DGAP Für den Inhalt der Mitteilung ist der Emittent verantwortlich. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strategische Übernahme in Asien / US-Tochter Fieldworks in der Gewinnzone

Die Kontron embedded Computers AG, einer der weltweit führenden Anbieter miniaturisierter Computer, hat eine bindende vertragliche Vereinbarung über die Übernahme von 51 Prozent an der taiwanesischen Industrial Solutions Provider Lim. (ISPRO), Taipeh, getroffen. Wie der Kontron-Vorstand mitteilte, werden hierzu 2,5 Mio US$ für eine Kapitalerhöhung bei ISPRO einbezahlt. ISPRO stellt stationäre embedded Computer her und erzielte im abgelaufenen Geschäftsjahr einen Umsatz von etwa 9 Mio. DM bei einem EBIT von etwa 7 Prozent des Umsatzes.

ISPRO stellt laut Kontron-Vorstrand eine strategisch wichtige Ergänzung zur bestehenden Kontron 55% Tochter TMC Ltd, Taipeh dar. Während TMC über eine Produktpalette im Bereich embedded Computer Boards (ECBs) verfügt, bietet ISPRO komplette embedded Computer Systeme an. Insbesondere verfügt ISPRO über einen sehr gut ausgebauten Vertriebskanal in Fernost. So soll die ISPRO auch den Vertrieb der mobilen embedded Computer der Kontron-Gruppe in Asien übernehmen. TMC und ISPRO sollen noch in diesem Jahr zu `Kontron Asien` verschmolzen werden. Damit sieht sich Kontron als zweitgrößter embedded Computer Technologie Anbieter in Asien.

Auch in den USA sieht sich die Echinger Unternehmensgruppe in ihrer Akquisitionspolitik bestätigt: Die auf die Produktion von mobilen embedded Computers spezialisierte und an der NASDAQ notierte Fieldworks Inc.

Sorry Albatossa,

aber bist du schizophren?

Der Sinn hinter einer Aquisition eines komplementären Unternehmens liegt eben gerade daran, daß man Synergieeffekte erzielen kann z.B. bei Forschung und Entwicklung sowie Produktion, Vertrieb und Marketing.
Wenn Fieldwork jetzt weniger Geld für Forschung ausgeben muß, liegt es daran, daß man nun gemeinsam mit Kontron forscht!!!

Hallo Leute,

bereits am Dienstag hat FieldWorks gemeldet das es sechs weitere Aufträge bei der Polizei, im eigentlichen Stammgeschäft, erhalten hat! Wie wir alle wissen, hat jeder Bundesstaat und jede größere Stadt ihre eigene Polizei so daß man dabei sehr schnell der Überblick verlieren kann. Ob diese Geschäfte lukrativ für FieldWorks ist, wurde nicht gemeldet! Der Kurs ist fast unverändert geblieben!

Hallo Leute,

nachdem Kontron zwei Tage lang gefallen ist und es viel Aufregungen gegeben hat, ist die Erklärung doch sehr einfach! Das jetzt die Aktionäre ihr umgetauschten Aktien von Memotec in Kontron verhöckern ist fast normal. Welcher Kanadier kann sich mit Kontron schon abfinden noch identifizieren. Sehr bewundertswert dabei ist der Umtauschkurs für die Memotecaktionäre. Der letzte Kurs von Memotec lag bei 1,60CAN$, rechnet man die Preis auf Kontron zurück so kommt ein Kurs von 36,12 Euro heraus! Jetzt kann sich jeder selber Gedanken machen wieviel der Kurs der Kontronaktien wirklich wert ist!

Es gab für mich einige Gründe warum ich gerade nicht im Memotec investiert habe. Dafür halte ich Kontron Mobile Computing (FieldWorks) für das besser investment, zumal wenn es hier mal klappen sollte die Kurschance erheblich höher ist wie bei Kontron selber! Nur mal als Tip!

Hi Albatossa!

Kannst Du mir sagen, was das mit den 1802-Stück im Xetra um 20.06 Uhr sollte, die den Kurs unter 33 Euro zogen?
Um 20 Uhr ist doch Sense, oder?

Hallo Apothekerinsgatte,

ich nehme mal an das liegt an der Übertrag der Datensätze zu den einzelnen Endabnehmer. Ich habe mir ein paar Homepages angeschaut und jeder hat eine andere Uhrzeit als letzte Order angegeben.

Hallo Apothekerinsgatte,

warum der Kurs im Xetra unter 33 Euro gezogen wurde ist halt Angebot und Nachfrage. Dahinter irgend etwas spekulatives zu sehen halte ich für unwahrscheinlich, weil der Tagestiefstkurz bei 31,51 Euro lag! Im Moment werden halt mehr Aktien angeboten wie der Markt bereit ist aufzunehmen!

Kontron: Ordentlicher Halbjahresumsatz

Aber rückläufige Tendenz der Quartalserlöse

Die Kontron Embedded Computers hat den Umsatz im ersten Halbjahr mit rund 200 Mio. DM mehr als verdoppelt. Wesentliche Beiträge hierfür haben die im vergangenen Jahr übernommenen Unternehmen, insbesondere die PEP Modular Computers GmbH und die Kontron Mobile Computing (ehemals Fieldworks, USA) erbracht. Mit der Integration dieser Unternehmen sei die angestrebte Diversifizierung in der Produktpolitik erfolgreich umgesetzt worden . Auch das organische Wachstum von mehr als 50 Prozent wird als Erfolgsfaktor genannt.

Die ehemalige FieldWorks, die jetzt unter Kontron Mobile Computing (KMBC) firmiert, hat im ersten Quartal 2001 5 Mio. Dollar umgesetzt. Das ist eine Steigerung von 15 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Es wurden 4 Cent je Aktie verdient. Mitte Mai war ein Auftrag der US-Armee über mehr als 4 Mio. Dollar abgewickelt worden, der die Lieferung von mobilen Rechnern vorsah. Halbjahreszahlen liegen noch nicht vor.

Im ersten Quartal waren 110 Mio. DM umgesetzt worden . Im Vergleich der beiden Vierteljahresabschnitte zeigt sich damit eine fallende Tendenz: Im zweiten Quartal waren rund 90 Mio. DM erlöst worden. Bei der ebenfalls im ECT-Markt präsenten JUMPtec stellt sich das genau umgekehrt dar: Hier wurden im 2. Quartal 39 Prozent mehr umgesetzt als in den ersten drei Monaten . Ob die heute vorgelegten vorläufigen Zahlen den Wachstumskurs von Kontron bestätigen , ist nicht ausgemacht. Hierzu sind insbesondere Informationen über den Auftragseingang erforderlich, die wohl mit den endgültigen Umsatz- und Ergebniszahlen des ersten Halbjahres 2001 am 16. August vorgelegt werden.

Kontron nimmt als Lieferant von Embedded-Computer-Technologie (ECT) weltweit den dritten Platz hinter der amerikanischen Radisys und der fernöstlichen Advantech ein.

Hallo Leute,

hier könnte durchaus in der nächster Zeit neue Aufträge geben!

MfG Albatossa

Für Kontron [ Kurs/Chart ] könnte sich die bestehende
Zusammenarbeit mit der US-Army positiv auswirken. Dem
Unternehmen sei von US-Seite indiziert worden sei, dass die
Ausrüstung von US-Army-Jeeps mit Kontron-Komponenten
für das Flottenmanagement beschleunigt durchgeführt
werden soll. Verstärkte Sicherheitsmaßnahmen bei
Gebäudekomplexen könnten Titeln des Smart-Card-Bereichs
wie Mühlbauer [ Kurs/Chart ] nützen.

man kann nicht alle Tatsachen verdrängen! Selbst wenn ich eine Aktien von einen Windpark kaufe, so versorgt dieser Windpark indirekt mit seiner Lieferung von Strom irgendein Militär. Das gilt mit Wasser, Gas, Lebensmittel und sonstige Dingen auch! Man sollte trotz allen Schrecken nicht vergessen über den Tellerand zu schauen!

MfG Albatossa

[Neemann]

Versteh mich nicht falsch, Albatossa. Ich wollte nur die Mühe ausdrücken, die es kostet, sich nach den letzten Tagen nun wieder mit relevanten Fakten auseinanderzusetzen. Du hast da völlig recht.

[Albatossa]

Hallo Neemann,

ich habe dich schon richtig verstanden!

Hallo Leute,

ich weiß aus nicht genannten Quellen, das die US Army für Sicherheit in allen Bereichen mehr Geld ausgeben will und wird. Die ersten Ausschreibungen werden gerade entworfen und in nächster Zeit auch öffentlicht ausgeschrieben. Damit wird nicht nur Kontron Mobile Computing, Inc. profitieren, sondern auch ganz andere Bereiche. Denkt dabei auch an Videoüberwachungen, Smartcard und sonstige Baumaßnahmen. Auch die Geschäftswelt wird in Zukuft mehr in Sicherheit investieren.

MfG Albatossa

RPD-1158: Kaskadierbar für bis 512 Systeme:

Kompaktes Display mit 1 HE vereinfacht Verkabelung
Fortsetzung:
Das innovative 15“-Display RPD-1158 für Gestelleinbau mit lediglich 44 mm Höhe zeichnet sich durch einen integrierten Achtfach-KVM-Umschalter (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) mit Autosensing-Funktion an der Tastaturschublade aus. Auf diese Weise können alle Signale ohne Kabelsalat über einen 25-poligen Stecker übertragen werden.

Durch Kaskadieren kann ein RPD-1158 bis zu 512 Systeme steuern. Der konfigurierbare Zugriffsschutz sowie der Display-Schutz verbessern die MTBF durch automatisches Abschalten des Displays, sobald das System geschlossen wird. Weiterhin ist ein Hot-Key sowie eine OSD-Control-Funktion enthalten. Ein Passwortschutz sowie von vorn abschließbarer Zugriff sorgen für zusätzliche Systemsicherheit

Das Display findet unter anderem Einsatz in der Fertigungsautomatisierung, in Serverfarmen oder im Control-Tower von Flugplätzen. Unterstützt werden alle gängigen Betriebssysteme. Verwendet wird ein 15“-TFT-LCD-Panel-Display mit 1024 x 768 Pixel sowie Hintergrundbeleuchtung mit automatischer Abschaltung. Das Stahlgehäuse hat die Abmessungen 440 x 492 x 44 mm und wiegt 17 kg.

Der Aufbau des kompakten Displays vereinfacht nicht nur die Verkabelung, sondern gewährleistet auch leichten Zugriff und einfache Wartung. Versorgt wird das Gerät durch eine automatisch schaltendes Netzteil mit einem Wechselspannungs-Eingang von 85 V bis 264 V.

Der weltweite Bedarf an derartigen Systemen liegt bei 30.000 Stück. Kontron will mit dem RPD-1158 rund zehn Prozent des Marktes bedienen.

Das kleine Kraftpaket:

Pentium III Power im Miniformat
Fortsetzung:
Unter dem Produktnamen PxV206 bringt Kontron jetzt einen Industrie-PC auf den Markt, der den Kundenanforderungen nach immer höherer Leistung bei immer kleineren Abmaßen entgegenkommt.

Das kompakte Gehäuse im 19-Zoll-Format (2HE) und einer Einbautiefe von 457 mm bietet wahlweise einem Pentium III mit bis zu 933 MHz oder einem alternativen Celeron mit 566 MHz Platz. Damit eignet sich der Industrierechner mit einer Speicherkapazität von bis zu 1 GB SDRAM für ein breites industrielles Anwendungsfeld, von anspruchsvollen Maschinensteuerungen bis hin zu Industrieservern.

Trotz der beengten Raumverhältnisse verfügt der Rechner über 5 zusätzliche frei Slots zur Erweiterung der Funktionalitäten um digitale I/O`s, Feldbusse wie CAN, PROFIBUS oder auch intelligente Achsensteuerung.

Der Industrierechner zeichnet sich zudem durch die verwendeten redundanten PFC-Netzteile und die E-Pac Technologie aus, die eine bessere Belüftung der Hotspots und zudem eine bessere Wartbarkeit des Rechners erlaubt, als es bislang möglich war. Zu einer besseren Wartbarkeit und einem problemlosen Upgrading tragen zudem die frontseitigen I/Os für Service und Update bei.

Der Industrie-PC PxV206 ist ab sofort verfügbar.

PRESSEMITTEILUNG

Kontron "buy" Datum: 25.09.2001


Das Anlageurteil der Wertpapieranalysten von "neue märkte" für die Aktie Kontron Embedded Computers AG lautet "buy". (WKN 523990) Das in Eching bei München ansässige Unternehmen sei einer der weltweit führenden Anbieter von miniaturisierten Computern. Kontron dürfte von der Erhöhung des Verteidigungsbudgets in den Vereinigten Staaten vor allem in der Produktsparte "Mobile Computer im Feld" profitieren. Durch die seit dem Börsengang durchgeführten Firmenakquisitionen seien die Vertriebsnetze in Europa, Asien und in den USA ausgebaut und preiswerte Produktionskapazitäten hinzugewonnen worden. Der Konzern habe sich dabei zum Ziel gesetzt, bis zum Jahr 2003 zum Weltmarktführer zu avancieren und den führenden ECT-Anbeiter Radisys auszuspielen. Über die belgische Tochter habe Kontron die Firma Micro Automation Technology (M.A.T.) zu 100% übernommen. M.A.T. sei seit 1988 auf die Herstellung von Enbedded Computer-Lösungen im Bereich der Schienenfahrzeug- und Verkehrstechnologie spezialisiert. Kontron habe mitgeteilt, dass neben der USA-Armee auch mit der US-Sicherheitsbehörde zusammengearbeitet werde. Die Analysten würden es für möglich halten, dass seitens der Fieldworks Inc. aus Minesota, an der Kontron mehrheitlich zu 62% beteiligt sei, neben dem bisherigen Großauftrag von der US-Armee weitere Aufträge anstehend könnten. Laut dem Unternehmen, seien bisher kaum Investorenanfragen bezüglich des Umsatzpotenzials aus Militäraufträgen gestellt worden. Die Analysten würden wegen der niedrigen Bewertung sowie der Wachstumsphantasie eine verstärkte Nachfrage nach dem Titel erwarten. Daher raten die Analysten von "neue märkte" zum Kauf der Kontron-Aktie".

Kontron Mobile Computing Reports Third Quarter Results
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ --

Kontron Mobile Computing, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KMBC - news), formerly FieldWorks, Inc., today announced results for third quarter 2001. Kontron Mobile Computing is a leading supplier of rugged, mobile computing equipment to the U.S. Army and other defense, public safety and commercial customers.

The company reported third quarter sales of $3.2 million compared to $3.4 million for third quarter 2000. Operating profit was reported as $250,053 compared to a loss of $6.6 million for third quarter 2000.

The company reported a loss of $0.02 per share and a net loss of $304,303 for third quarter, compared to a loss of $0.82 per share and a net loss of $7.3 million in third quarter 2000.

``I`m pleased to report that we`ve weathered a challenging quarter and emerged a stronger company,`` said Thomas Sparrvik, president and CEO. ``During the quarter, we retired a significant amount of debt and paid a final, one-time brokerage payment relating to recent corporate transactions. Although third quarter revenues were weaker than we`d hoped, we`ve dramatically improved our overall condition from that of a year ago and I`m pleased with our positive operating income.

``We now prepare to meet what we expect will be increased demand for our products both in the short term and the long term,`` Sparrvik added. ``At this time, we especially look forward to serving our defense and public safety customers as we work to help create a safer world.``

Sparrvik attributed weakness in third quarter revenues, in part, to a temporary lag in new orders received on and following Sept. 11, 2001. Year-to-date revenues were $13.1 million -- an 11 percent increase compared to the same period in 2000.

During the quarter, the company repaid $3 million to note holders from debt refinancing received in September 1999. Due to this repayment, Sparrvik said, financing expenses for the remainder of 2001 will decrease by approximately 50 percent.

@Guten Abend Albatossa

Mich interessiert dies ausserorderntlich. Und ganz unter uns. Diese Wendung der Dinge bei der ehemaligen Field Works überrascht mich nicht im geringsten. Im Gegenteil wurde hier schon mehrmals von meiner Seite betont dass diese Firma den Break Even überraschend schnell erreichen wird. Sicherlich ist in diesem psychologischen Umfeld eine solche Meldung für gewisse Leute kein Highflyer. Ausser natürlich dass man/frau wieder sehr schnell und in fast schon panaroiden Anfällen von manipulierten Zahlen oder gar Betrug schwadroniert wird! (hihihi..)

Eines sollte doch nun klar geworden sein. Jeder Basher oder Kritiker-Thread wird angeklickt ohne Ende. Aber eine wirklich wichtige Meldung wie diese wird weitestgehend ignoriert. Das unsere Baissisten keine grosse Sache daraus machen wollen verstehe ich ja noch. Aber all die anderen Anleger....? Nun ja. Ich denke die nächsten Wochen und Monate werden uns allen so oder so aufschluss darüber bringen ob wir richtig liegen oder eine zweite RD4 vor uns sehen, was sich hier ja einige wünschen

Der Markt wird dies alles so oder so richten, da können hier alle bashen und pushen ohne Ende! Und das ist auch gut so!!

Ihnen noch einen schönen Abend wünscht

HM

[Albatossa]

Hallo herr.motzki,

was soll ich dazu sagen! Wenn alle sich die Krise wünschen dann muß sie wohl kommen! Wer kommt schon gerne auf die Idee gerade im Bärenmarkt sich günstig mit den Aktien einzudecken die eine gute Zukunftperpektive hat? Und warum sollte man auch groß Werbung für diese Aktie machen, wenn alle nur über einen lachen wenn man erzählt das man seine Aktien länger als nur 24 Stunden halten will, wo doch alle so schlau sind! Wieviele machen sich wirklich die Mühe und sammeln alle wichtige Daten und Ergebnis zusammen und ziehen daraus auch die richtigen Schlüsse? Bashen und pushen ist doch viel einfacher. Die wahren Kenner sammeln jetzt im Stillen die unterbewerteten Aktien ein! Ich wünsche dir noch viel Erfolg und da bin ich mir sicher mit deine Aktienkäufe!

Hallo Leute,

am 21. May gibt es ein Aktionär-Meeting und danach sollte eigentlich alles klar sein!

Nur zu information: Kontron Mobile Computing kostet momentan 0,70US$ und hat ein KGV von 12 bezogen auf das Betriebsergebnis im Jahr 2001. Ich würde sagen, das dies ein guter Einstiegzeitpunkt ist! Sollten die Zukunftaussichten einigermaßen vernüftig sein, dann kann man eigentlich hier nicht mehr viel falsch machen! Warum wohl erhält Kontron dieses Listing an der US Börsen aufrecht.(Alle andere Firmen wurden vollständig geschluckt und ein Delisting durchgeführt) Nur mal als Gedankenstütze!

Hallo Leute,


wenn man sich die gesamte Kontron Töchter so anschaut, wer kann da noch der Überblick behalten, mal ehrlich? Wenn schon die Kontron Mobile Computing Inc. und Kontron Family of Companies im gemeinsamen Markt der USA als Konkurrenten auftretten! Kontron ist in der Zwischenzeilt zur einer großen Holding umgebaut worden! Das problem bei der Holdingstruktur ist, das es sehr schwierig ist dort noch durchzublicken! Die Börse und die Anleger mögen solche Holdingsstrukturen nicht allzugerne, was dazu führt das solche Unternehmen mit einen erheblichen Kursabschlag gehandelt werden! Das sehen wir gerade auch bei Kontron, viele können Hannes Niederhauser und Thomas Sparrvik mit mehr folgen. Herr Sparrvik sorgte wegen seine Sprunghaftigkeit für weitere Verwirrung als er ICS Advent dazu kaufte und damit im nordamerikanischen Markt nun zwei konkurrierende Kontrontöchter hat. Jeder Anleger fragt sich nun wohin geht die Reise mit Kontron. Damit die Anleger nicht zu ruhe kommen wird jetzt auch noch die Fusion mit Jumptec betrieben mit den folgen das die Anleger in der Zwischenzeit etwas zurückhaltenen agieren!

Kontron Mobile Computing Unveils the ReVolution: The First Rugged, Mobile Notebook and Tablet PC in One
Tailored for Field-Deployed Professionals Working in Challenging Conditions
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

Kontron Mobile Computing, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KMBC - news), today introduced the ReVolution -- a notebook and tablet PC in one, with the added benefits of ruggedness, upgradability and integrated wireless communications capabilities.

The newest addition to Kontron`s full line of mobile computers for field-deployed professionals, the convertible ReVolution is a first in rugged computing. With a quick flip of the display, the ReVolution can be used as a notebook in an office environment, for example, or as a tablet or handheld for all-weather data acquisition or other applications outdoors. SwitchIt(TM), Kontron`s rugged, 180 degree custom display hinge, allows the ReVolution to convert from a notebook configuration to a touch screen tablet in seconds.

``The ReVolution is backed by our decade-plus of experience in designing rugged, mobile computers for users who require more than consumer-grade PCs can deliver,`` said Dale Szymborski, president, Kontron Mobile Computing. ``With our extensive knowledge of customers working in defense, public safety, utilities, heavy industry and other challenging computing environments, we`re pleased to introduce a powerful, rugged, convertible PC that`s truly designed for them.``

The ReVolution will be available during the second half of 2002. Specific details about availability and pricing will be announced at a later date.

``In talking with our customers, we`ve learned that tablet computers tend to fall short as key-typing data input devices and notebooks do not excel as point-and-click field computers,`` Szymborski added. ``So, we designed the first-ever, rugged, convertible notebook. The introduction of the ReVolution creates a new category of computing devices.``

Features of the ReVolution include:

Integrated wireless communications technology for the field-mobile platform. The ReVolution features embedded Bluetooth technology for wireless PAN connectivity, enabling users to connect to cell phones, airport Internet kiosks, printers, PDAs and more. It also features optional integrated CDPD, CDMA or GSM for wireless WAN connectivity and Spread Spectrum wireless LAN (802.11b) connectivity.
World-class ruggedness. With a full magnesium construction design, it is tested to U.S. military and NEMA standards for resistance to shock, vibration, water, temperature and dust. The ReVolution can take punishment that cripples ordinary, consumer-grade laptops and notebooks.
Powerful processing. At the heart of the ReVolution is Kontron`s new QuickSilver CPU module with a 1.06 GHz (or higher) Intel® Pentium® III Processor-M. The QuickSilver CPU module comes standard with 128MB SDRAM upgradeable to 768MB and operating system support for Windows 98, NT 4.0, ME, 2000 and XP.
Impressive upgradability and modularity. The ReVolution features upgradable CPU modules, memory, hard drive capacities and peripheral modules. A SunLight Readable transflective display is available as an option, as is an optional I/O Expansion Stick allowing user-defined input/output devices. Two front accessible bays house one or two 3.5-hour batteries, or one battery and a DVD, CD-ROM, CD-R or floppy drive.

Hallo Leute,

jetzt ist es raus! Umsätze sinken und ein Verlust wurde auch gemacht! In die Kasse mußte man auch noch langen und am Ende wurde zwar nur 1Cent Verlust pro Aktie geschrieben oder unter dem Strich ein Gesamtverlust von -$211.144,-!
So wie es hier aussieht dürfte es auch bei der Mutter zugehen!

Year-to-date net loss was $37,539, or $.00 per share, on revenues of $5.5 million, compared to net profit of $1,014,908, or $.07 per share, on revenues of $9.9 million during the same period in 2001.

"Like many companies in the electronics industry, we found that the recent economic slowdown affected the IT spending decisions of many of our customers during the second quarter, particularly those in the government and public safety sectors," said Thomas Sparrvik, CEO. "Our lower revenues reflect that fact, and while we see the purchasing climate improving, we expect that our industry will face continuing challenges in this regard for the balance of 2002. We`re pleased, however, to again report positive operating income, which we attribute to the cost reduction program we implemented in previous quarters. With our impressive product portfolio strengthened by the availability later this year of the ReVolution convertible notebook and tablet PC, we believe that we remain well-positioned for success."

Wenn für das 1.Q. ein Gewinn von einem Cent zu Buche stand und Kontron gleichsam noch mit 8 Euro bewertet wurde und nunmehr für das 2.Q. ein Verlust von einem Cent pro Aktie zu Buche schlägt und Kontron noch einen Wert von 3 Euro hat, so möchte ich bei adäquaten Zahlen der Mutter schon annehmen, daß hier dieses vorliegende Szenario schon im aktuellen Kurs mehr als eingepreist ist. Oder sehe ich das zu freundlich durch meine rosarote Brille?

Ich denke, wir können wieder auf unsere 3-Euro-Matte.

gruß carlos

[Albatossa]

Hallo carlosgarcia

am 20. August 02 kommen die Zahlen von Kontron heraus. Die dürften im Verhältnis zu KMBC.OB liegen! Da wird nicht viel Gewinn hängen geblieben sein vor Steuern und Abschreibung! Aufjedenfall wird der Gewinn ca. bei 0,05Euro liegen! Das heißt das nach Steuern und AfA sogar ein Verlust vorhanden sein dürfte oder ganz knapp aufgeht! Deswegen halte ich den Kurs auch jetzt auch für angemessen! Blos dann wird der Kurs von Kontron sich wie der Markt entwickeln!

Gruß Albatossa

[carlosgarcia]

@ albatossa

Ich mag Dir im Grunde zustimmen und wir wissen auch noch nicht, welch freundlichen Ausblick KBC uns anbietet, aber als Freund irrationaler Einflüsse auf die Kursentwicklung von abgestraften Papieren (Psychologie, Charttechnik) halte ich für die nächsten Wochen ein outperformen des Marktes durch KBC für wahrscheinlich (von evtl. positiven Überraschungen will ich an dieser Stelle gar nicht reden).

Schlechte Zahlen - gutes Gefühl, warum nur funktioniert es immer wieder ?

gruß carlos

[Albatossa]

Hallo carlos,

an der Börse ist doch alles möglich! Blos längerfristig lassen sich auch Aktienkurse nicht ständig manipulieren!

Auch ich baue gerade wieder Positionen auf, nur KBC habe ich zumindesten noch nicht im Auge!

Ericsson erwartet weitere Pleiten auf UMTS-Markt

Der schwedische Telekomausrüster Ericsson rechnet mit weiteren Pleiten auf dem UMTS-Markt. Selbst in größeren Ländern hätten vermutlich nur vier Anbieter der neuen Mobilfunkdienste eine Überlebenschance, sagte Ericsson-Marketing- und Strategieleiter Thorbjörn Nilsson der "Financial Times Deutschland".

Auf kleineren Märkten seien es voraussichtlich sogar noch weniger. In Deutschland wird Nilsson zufolge nach Quam mindestens ein weiterer Lizenzinhaber aufgeben.

"Es handelt sich bei UMTS um ein klassisches Einzelhandelsgeschäft, das nicht zu viele Anbieter im Markt verträgt", sagte der Ericsson-Manager. Betreiber mit einem Marktanteil von weniger als zehn Prozent auf ihrem Heimatmarkt werden seiner Ansicht nach keine Überlebenschance haben.

Intel: PC-Absatzflaute in den USA hält an

San Jose (Reuters) -

Der Absatz von Personalcomputern bleibt nach Worten von Intel -Präsident und Chief Operating Officer Paul Otellini weiterhin schwach.

Eine Erholung sei unwahrscheinlich,

bis sich das Verbrauchervertrauen verbessert habe, erklärte Otellini am Montagabend vor Journalisten. Der PC-Markt habe keine Anzeichen der Belebung gezeigt.

"Der US-Markt leidet immer noch unter einer Reihe von Sorgen", sagte Otellini mit Hinweis auf Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit, schwache Aktienmärkte

und den bevorstehenden Jahrestag der Anschläge vom 11. September. Lediglich die Umsätze in der Asien-Pazifik-Region hätten das Geschäft während des Abschwungs vorangetrieben und würden dies wohl auch weiterhin tun.

Eine Prognose für das Weihnachtsgeschäft könne er noch nicht abgeben, sagte Otellini weiter.

Kontron Mobile Computing Awarded $1.6 Million Contract by the U.S. Army; Rugged, Mobile Data Servers Continue to Support Army Field Information System
Monday November 11, 9:13 am ET


EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Kontron Mobile Computing, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KMBC - News), today announced that it has received an order valued at $1.6 million from the United States Army to deliver the FW2000 Mobile Data Server Series III -- a rugged, mobile PC system specially designed for use in vehicles.

ADVERTISEMENT


The modular FW2000 Mobile Data Server is tailored for demanding in-vehicle applications in military, public safety and utilities computing environments. The $1.6 million order will support the Army`s Force XXI Battle Command Brigade-and-Below (FBCB2) program, which provides situational awareness and digitized battlefield information to soldiers and commanders both in the field and at command headquarters. The FW2000 is central to the Army`s EIS+ (Enhanced Information System), a component of FBCB2 involving vehicle-mounted computing applications.

Kontron Mobile Computing expects to complete delivery of the order in the first quarter of 2003 to the Tobyhanna Army Depot, Pennsylvania -- the U.S. Department of Defense`s largest, full-service communications-electronics maintenance facility.

"EIS+ and the entire FBCB2 system help protect the lives of American soldiers by delivering real-time visual position location data to them and their commanders and by dramatically increasing the amount of battlefield intelligence at their disposal," said Ron Cappellini, deputy director, production engineering, Tobyhanna Army Depot. "Superior vehicle computer systems are a fundamental component within this system and a must for its successful operation at all times."

"It is rewarding to earn repeat business with a customer, but it is especially rewarding when the U.S. Army places continuing trust in our products to perform reliably in mission-critical situations," said Dale Szymborski, president. "We are proud of this ongoing relationship that allows us to provide reliable, rugged, innovative technology supporting important Army missions."

As a result of previous Army orders, the rugged FW2000 Mobile Data Server already has been deployed by the Army in many areas of the world, including training exercises in the U.S. and patrol operations in the Balkans. In 2001, the company also supplied FW2000s to the Army in an order valued at more than $4 million.

Kontron Mobile Computing Announces Record Quarterly Profits
Thursday February 13, 8:00 am ET
Supplier of Rugged, Mobile Computers Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results


EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kontron Mobile Computing, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KMBC - News) today announced record quarterly profits for fourth quarter and overall profitability for fiscal year 2002.
For fourth quarter 2002, the company reported operating income of $949,798, compared to $405,902 for fourth quarter 2001. Quarterly net income was a company record $733,709, or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $229,754, or $0.01 per share, for the same period in 2001. Revenue was $4.4 million, compared to 2001 fourth quarter revenue of $4.2 million.

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002, the company reported operating income of $1.0 million, compared to $2.1 million for fiscal year 2001. Net income for fiscal year 2002 totaled $148,722, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $940,359, or $0.06 per share, for fiscal year 2001. Revenue for 2002 was $12.2 million, compared to 2001 revenue of $17.3 million.

"We are pleased to announce record quarterly profits for fourth quarter, especially in light of an overall weak economy and a disappointing third quarter," said Thomas Sparrvik, CEO. "Thanks in part to our improved cost structure, the organization demonstrated its ability to generate record profits while driving quarterly revenues of $4.4 million. For the year, the company remained profitable despite a significant drop in annual revenues from 2001. We ended the year with a strong cash position and we look ahead with optimism."

The company also announced today that its board of directors has authorized the repayment of an additional $2 million in existing notes to Kontron AG, Munich, Germany, of which Kontron Mobile Computing is an affiliate. This follows earlier repayments of $1.5 million to Kontron AG in 2002 and $3 million to private note holders in 2001.

"During the past two years, the company`s debt has been lowered significantly," said RoseMary Luebke, controller. "Our recent profitability is especially rewarding because it has been achieved concurrently with this debt reduction, and it reinforces our belief that we`re headed on the right strategic path."

The ReVolution, which began shipping earlier this year, was one of the top products honored by the more than 195,000 design engineering readers of NASA Tech Briefs. The ReVolution received the Silver Award after receiving the second-highest number of votes in a field of 12 nominees named by the magazine`s editors as Products of the Month during 2002. The magazine selects Products of the Month based on exceptional technical merit and practical value.

An official NASA publication, NASA Tech Briefs is the largest U.S.-circulation engineering magazine, with content spanning a wide array of fields, including electronics, physical sciences, materials, computer software, mechanics, machinery/automation, manufacturing/fabrication, mathematics/information sciences, and life sciences.

"It`s rewarding to be recognized by the readers of NASA Tech Briefs because they typify the customers we went into business more than a decade ago to serve," said Steve Hanges, director of marketing, who accepted the award. "NASA Tech Briefs readers and editors appreciate what it means to need a well-designed, rugged product. To meet the high standards of this elite, discerning audience is especially gratifying."

The newest addition to Kontron`s full line of mobile computers, the convertible ReVolution truly is a first in rugged computing. With SwitchIt(TM), Kontron`s custom, rugged, 180-degree display hinge, the ReVolution converts from a notebook to touch-screen tablet and back again in seconds.

The upgradeable ReVolution also features impressive wireless communications capabilities and rugged construction designed to support the applications and challenging working conditions now common in field computing across many industries.

The ReVolution is available from Kontron Mobile Computing and authorized resellers. It carries an estimated list price of $5,095 (actual pricing varies based on specific product configuration and quantity).

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., May 13, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Kontron Mobile Computing, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KMBC), today announced results for the first quarter of 2003.

For the quarter, the company reported an operating loss of $89,034, compared to operating income of $383,542 for first quarter 2002. Net loss was $301,003, or $0.02 per share, on revenues of $2.1 million, compared to net income of $173,605, or $0.01 per share, on revenues of $3.2 million during the same period in 2002.

"I attribute the weakness of our first quarter to delayed shipments from component vendors and the consequent postponement of orders that we now expect to fill in future quarters," said Thomas Sparrvik, CEO. "We expect to see improvement in this area and meanwhile we are maintaining a positive book-to- bill ratio. Having reported positive operating income in all but two of the past nine quarters, we are confident that the company is on strong footing for long-term success."

Hallo Leute,

Hallo Leute,

Kontron hat vor die Aktien KMBC.OB für 0,45 $ pro Stück aufzukaufen!

Man war das billig für Kontron nur weil die Aktionäre ihre Aktien weggeworfen haben!

Ein Angebot liegt immer noch nicht vor! Ob hier jemand den Kurs nach oben treiben wollte!

Auch das Jahr 2004 sollte für Kontron ein gutes Jahr werden!

Kontron schließt Herstellungsverträge mit TFS.
Offensichtlich reichen die eigenen Kapazitäten nicht mehr aus.

TEMPE, Ariz., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TFS announced today that it has entered into a worldwide manufacturing agreement with Kontron America, the global leader in embedded computer technology (ECT), under which TFS will manufacture, assemble and test a variety of Kontron printed circuit board (PCB) products for multiple Kontron locations around the world. TFS also reported that Kontron has placed its first order under the agreement.

Kontron is currently the world``s largest producer of embedded computer technology in the form of single board computing devices. The company services its OEM customers through locations in Asia, Europe, Canada and the United States. Kontron is a member of the Intel Communication Alliance (ICA), a community of communications and embedded developers and solution providers that work closely with Intel Corporation on new product development, prototypes and reference designs.

Thomas Sparrvik, CEO and President of Kontron America, Inc., said, "This manufacturing agreement represents a great opportunity for both Kontron and TFS, and it will ultimately provide strategic benefits to each of our respective customers. Initially, we will look to TFS to bolster our own manufacturing capabilities by providing us with world-class manufacturing and supply chain management support from its facility in Penang, Malaysia. TFS`` strong presence in the U.S. and in Asia will provide local support for our U.S. based operations and will complement our own strength in Europe."

Under the agreement, TFS will produce a variety of products for multiple Kontron customers in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Initially, TFS will manufacture Kontron``s printed circuit board (PCB) products at its Penang, Malaysia facility, an operation which was originally built by Intel to produce motherboards for Intel``s PC products, and which was acquired by TFS in 2003. The Penang operation has been audited and approved by current and previous customers including IBM, Dell, and HP/COMPAQ.

Jack Saltich, President and CEO of TFS added, "Longer term, we see tremendous opportunities by jointly pursuing specific product applications that will draw on the expertise of both TFS and Kontron. There are numerous products on the market today, and other products being developed, which contain both embedded computers and displays. By teaming up, TFS and Kontron can offer customers expertise in both areas, with a global footprint that assures world-class design, manufacturing, quality and cost-efficiency. Together, we have already identified and are in fact pursuing several potential new customers that would benefit from the combination of TFS`` know- how in display module design and manufacturing and Kontron``s ECT capability."

Embedded computers are often considered the "invisible" brains that are designed and embedded into a vast array of intelligent products, such as telecommunication networks, internet systems and mobile computing devices. The target market for these products is defined by Venture Development Corporation to include those companies that outsource their embedded computing needs, and is estimated to be $2.7 billion in 2002.

Kontron AG Announces the Expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period for, and Final Results of, Its Tender Offer for Kontron Mobile Computing, Inc. Shares



ECHING & MUNICH, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 23, 2004--Kontron AG announced that the subsequent offering period for the tender offer by KAC Acquisition, Inc. ("KAC Acquisition"), Kontron AG`s wholly-owned subsidiary, for all of the outstanding shares of Kontron Mobile Computing, Inc. ("Kontron Mobile") (OTCBB:KMBC) not owned by Kontron AG at a price of $0.55 per share, net in cash (the "Offer"), expired at 5:00 p.m.New York City time on Friday, Aug. 20, 2004. 124,905 shares of Kontron Mobile common stock were tendered and accepted for payment during the subsequent offering period, which, when added to the 5,487,273 shares that were acquired by KAC Acquisition upon the expiration of the Offer, as extended (Kontron AG previously announced that 5,507,273 shares had been tendered as of Aug. 6, 2004, which included 20,000 shares that were tendered via submission of a notice of guaranteed delivery, such shares were not subsequently delivered and therefore were not validly tendered), and the shares already owned by Kontron AG, represent approximately 91% of the voting securities of Kontron Mobile.

As soon as the conditions for de-registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") are met, Kontron AG intends to cause Kontron Mobile to file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to terminate its registration under the Exchange Act, at which point Kontron Mobile`s common stock will be delisted from the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and Kontron Mobile will cease to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act.

Kontron AG will acquire the shares of Kontron Mobile that were not tendered through a "short-form" merger (the "Merger"). Under the Minnesota Business Corporations Act, KAC Acquisition, as the holder of more than 90% of the voting securities of Kontron Mobile, may cause Kontron Mobile to merge with and into KAC Acquisition without a vote of Kontron Mobile`s other shareholders. In the Merger, the remaining shareholders of Kontron Mobile, other than those who assert dissenters rights, will have their shares converted into the right to receive $0.55 per share. Kontron AG intends to cause Kontron Mobile to consummate the Merger with an effective date of Oct. 1, 2004, the first day of the fourth calendar quarter. Upon the completion of the Merger, Kontron Mobile will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kontron AG and Kontron Mobile`s shares will no longer be publicly traded.
