[Fondssicher]

Schon toll was in Amiland so passiert, auf grund der FDA Genehmigung (erstes System weltweit ) stieg hier der Kurs vorbörslich sogar auf 5 USD. Interessanterweise sehr viele GROSSE Pakete, dann am Freitag im Börsenverlauf mit einer Spanne zwischen 2,7 und 3,5

Auch wieder mit sehr hohen Stückzahlen, aber vor allem kleine Pakete.

In D wird die BSE Materie wieder akut(Spiegelartikel) und wahrscheinlich auch in ganz Europa, Amiland fängt gerade erst an.

EMERGE INTERACTIVE INCORPORATED hat das einzige anerkannte Überwachungssystem für Schlachttiere auf der ganzen Welt, d.h. der letze Hype könnte nur ein kleiner Vorgeschmack auf die zu erwartenden Kurse bedeuten?????



Meiner Einschätzung nach ein sicherer LONG

[pedernales]

Was meinst du denn mit "einziges anerkanntes Überwachungssystem weltweit"?!

Richtig ist, dass EMRG ein Überwachungssystem für Schlachtvieh von der USDA zertifiziert bekommen hat und das bisher das einzige zertifizierte System in den USA ist.
(das aber vorher bereits einige Bundesstaaten eingesetzt haben)
Wieviel Geschäft durch dieses System letztendlich bei EMRG hängen bleibt, hängt einerseits davon ab, ob die Überwachung des Schlachtviehs zur Vorschrift für die Produzenten gemacht wird und andererseits von der Konkurrenz.
Einiges spricht dafür, dass EMRG einen größeren Teil dieses Geschäftes abbekommen wird, da der Handlungsdruck für die USDA bzw. die Regierung ziemlich groß ist, es bisher keine weiteren zertifizierten Systeme gibt und eventuelle Neueinsteiger in den Markt keine Zeit haben ihre Konkurrenzprodukte anzupassen.
Sehr interessant ist auch ein weiteres Produkt der Firma: VerifEYE.

ps.: bin auch long - wie weit der Peis aber noch steigen wird ist sehr spekulativ - immerhin hat EMRG bereits jetzt eine Marktkapitalisierung >120 mm $.

eMerge Interactive Reports Fourth Quarter Results

- Operating loss for the quarter is reduced to $2.2 million from $3.2 million, a 30% improvement - Net loss for the quarter improves 31% to $0.07 per share from $0.10 per share

SEBASTIAN, FL, February 12, 2004 - eMerge Interactive, Inc. (Nasdaq: EMRG), a technology company providing VerifEYETM food safety systems, CattleLogTM individual-animal tracking and database management services to the beef-production industry, today announced results for both the three and twelve month periods ending December 31, 2003.

Revenues for the quarter increased 61% to $188,000 from $117,000 in the comparable prior year period. Net loss for the quarter was $2.6 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to $3.8 million, or $0.10 per share, in the comparable prior year period. Revenues for the year increased 61% to $927,000 from $575,000 in the comparable prior year period. Net loss for the full year was $9.7 million, or $0.25 per share, compared to $30.6 million, or $0.78 per share, in the comparable prior year period.

Included in the net loss for both the quarter and twelve months is a $424,000 non-cash charge related to the change in fair value of common stock warrants issued in connection with the Company`s equity financing completed during the quarter (see Footnote 2). Additionally, the net loss for the quarter includes a $40,000 loss from discontinued operations relating to expenses from previously closed cattle operations. Net loss for the year includes a $94,000 gain from discontinued operations relating to the collection of receivables previously considered uncollectable, in excess of expenses relating to previously closed cattle operations. This compares to $672,000 and $12.3 million of loss from discontinued operations for the quarter and year in the comparable prior periods, respectively.

The increase in revenues during the quarter and twelve months primarily reflects lease revenues from the Company`s first Carcass Inspection System (CIS) installed at an Excel Corporation beef processing facility, as well as sales from VerifEYETM SoloTM, the Company`s portable machine-vision system. As previously announced, the Company recently shipped its second of three CIS systems to Excel Corporation under an accelerated lease payment agreement. The third CIS system is scheduled for delivery in late February. Excel Corporation is a leading U.S. beef processor and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cargill Incorporated.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter, compared to a year ago, increased $306,000, or 27%, to $1.4 million, reflecting an increase in legal and professional services expenses associated with recent financing and Nasdaq listing compliance activities, as well as increased consulting expenses associated with the Company obtaining its USDA Process Verified Program designation for CattleLogTM, the Company`s exclusive individual-animal tracking data-collection technology. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the twelve months decreased $917,000, or 14%, to $5.9 million, reflecting primarily a reduction in corporate and divisional expenses for salaries and wages relating to prior restructurings, as well as reduced communications expenses.

Technology and development costs for the quarter and twelve months declined 41% to $382,000 and 39% to $1.7 million, respectively, from the comparable periods a year ago, reflecting the continued reduction in such costs as the Company continues commercialization of its VerifEYETM products.

Operating loss for the quarter declined 30% to $2.2 million from $3.2 million in the comparable prior year period. Included in operating loss for the quarter is $532,000 of depreciation expense, compared to $755,000 in the same prior year period. Operating loss for the year declined $5.7 million or 38%, to $9.4 million, from $15.2 million in the prior year. Included in operating loss for the year is $2.4 million of depreciation expense, compared to $3.7 million in the prior year.

"We are pleased with the progress we have made this past quarter and the increasing acceptance of our products and services in the beef industry," stated David C. Warren, eMerge`s President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Company`s animal tracking and database management system, CattleLogTM, continues to attract strong interest as a unique solution to regulatory changes that require mandatory individual identification of beef animals or as a solution to assist in tracking animal health emergencies, including foot- and-mouth disease and BSE."

Highlights

Since the last quarterly announcement eMerge has:

Expanded adoption of VerifEYETM beyond the top five domestic beef processors with Rosen Meat Group of Alexandria, MN electing to use the food safety technology in its four U.S. meat processing plants;
Entered into a $3 million accelerated lease payments agreement for three VerifEYETM Carcass Inspection Systems with Excel Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cargill Corporation;
Introduced the VerifEYETM SoloTM meat-inspection system to the Japanese beef industry through Kyokuto Boeki Kaisha, which has been appointed a distributor for the Japanese market;
Received USDA approval for CattleLogTM, the Company`s animal tracking system, to be designated as a USDA Process Verified Program;
Entered into an agreement with ADM Alliance Nutrition (ANI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Archer Daniels Midland, for which the Company expects to install over 100 individual-animal tracking CattleLog systems at ANI`s alliance and feed customers over the next 12 months;
Received $8 million in gross proceeds through two private placements of common stock and warrants;
Shipped the second of three initial VerifEYETM CIS units to Excel Corporation; and
Expanded VerifEYETM food-safety technology to include detection of central nervous tissue in order to help processors comply with new BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, also known as "mad cow" disease) regulations.
Financial Position


The Company ended the quarter with $1.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. On January 23, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of common stock and received $6.5 million in net proceeds, providing the Company with over $7 million in working capital, before the receipt of $2.1 million in accelerated lease payments, to execute its business plan.

Capital expenditures in 2004 are expected to be approximately $2.0 million, primarily related to the VerifEYETM product line.

(2) On November 20, 2003, the Company issued 1,605,136 shares of Class A common stock to a current stockholder in a private placement transaction at $0.623 per share, raising $1.0 million in proceeds. In connection with the transaction, the Company also issued warrants to the investor to purchase 802,568 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.98 per share.
