On Track Innovations Ltd.: erhält Folgeauftrag

Quartalszahlen interessieren mich nicht mehr so wie früher. Das liegt wohl daran, dass wir alle nichts positives erwarten. Woher auch, wenn vorher kein großer Auftrag gemeldet wird?

Fairer Weise muss gesagt werden, dass ein gleichbleibender Umsatz aktuell schon als positiv zu werten ist. Wo solls derzeit herkommen?

und kein Abstürzen in weitere Tiefen? Ist die allgemeine Meinung: Schlimmer gehts nimmer?

Umsatz im ersten Quartal 2009 gleich wie im Vorjahr. Wie haben die das nur geschafft?!
Verluste fast halbiert.

Oded Bashan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OTI, said: ``Our first quarter results are in line with OTI's strategy to focus on improved margins, reduction in operating expenses, specifically in R&D and G&A, and the continued focus on marketing and sales, all resulting in further decrease in the operating loss and in the level of cash burn. Our target is to further reduce operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis to reach $25 million annually.''

Following the disclosure made by the company in its 2008 annual results filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2009, on Form 6-K that the company may recognize an impairment charge against its goodwill and other intangible assets (amounting to $28.1 million), the company recently completed impairment testing as of December 31, 2008, according to which OTI will record a $25.6 million impairment charge, of which $24.2 million and $1.4 million for goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. The goodwill impairment charge was driven by the decline in OTI's stock price and the deteriorating global economy. The impairment charges are noncash accounting adjustment to the Company's balance sheet and profit and loss report, that do not affect cash flow, liquidity or OTI's non-GAAP results. The impairment charges will be reflected in OTI's audited GAAP financial consolidated results as of December 31, 2008 attached to Form 20-F to be filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission and are reflected in the reports attached below.

Further to the disclosure made by the company in December 2008 regarding the share repurchase program, the Israeli District court approved the repurchase by the Company of its ordinary shares in a total amount of up to $2 million. OTI's Board of Directors will further discuss the program details, conditions and scope, all subject to regulatory requirements. However, as reported previously, the Company is not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

In Bursa, payments by cell phone are enabled by OTI's contactless Smart Sticker. The sticker is an entirely self-contained, contactless payment device that adheres to multiple surfaces including mobile phones, PDAs and more. Payments are made by placing the smart sticker a few inches away from OTI's Saturn 6000 contactless reader.

OTI provides its Saturn 6000 contactless reader -- an exceptionally fast reader with built in encryption capabilities developed to address the specific needs of the global contactless markets and the enhanced security required in EMV markets. The Saturn 6000 is the first reader to be certified for EMV and ISO 14443 PayPass version 1.1 required by MasterCard starting this year. The Saturn 6000 contactless reader is a leading cost-to-performance contactless reader in the market today, certified by the major financial institutions.

Oded Bashan, Chairman and CEO of OTI, commented: ``We are pleased with E-Kent's decision to select OTI's payments suite of products for their transportation customers.''

Commenting on the expansion, Oded Bashan, OTI’s Chairman and CEO, said “Expanding PARX’s parking solutions to new municipalities is a testimony of the program’s success. The project in Italy is another step in our efforts to launch PARX’s parking solutions in various global markets. The project is based on our patented technology, offering a user friendly, easy to operate solution with a proven business case. The project in Italy demonstrates again our strategy of focusing on projects generating product sales followed by growing high-margin recurring revenues via transaction, licensing or royalty fees.”

Using Neos Park the driver pays only for the actual parked time. To activate Neos Park the driver turns on the contactless unit and places it in the car window. Upon returning, the driver turns the device off. This creates a uniquely convenient user experience by eliminating the need for cash, change, and saving the time looking for parking meters. Neos Park can be used for both on-street parking payments and for parking lots. Neos Park provides detailed reports to the municipality in order to better manage and monitor parking patterns across town. The parking system is able to support multiple rates, cities, tariffs in a modular, scalable and easy to implement way.

In the new application of OTI's EasyFuel wireless solution, products have been customized to fit the harsh environmental conditions in the ports and to ensure the solution is reliable and durable and requires minimum long-term maintenance. The solution has been integrated with a Point-of-Sale (POS) system. The integrated solution is mounted on mobile bowsers and is used to control the dispensing of fuel into the plant equipment at any location in the port. With the plant equipment fitted with the EasyFuel VID (Vehicle Identification Device), nozzle-to-tank security is guaranteed at refuel, with vehicle operational data being automatically captured for subsequent management reporting.

A typical port site includes a large number of devices and equipment to automate the site. It can range between the equivalent of about 10-20 gas stations and about 1,000-5,000 vehicles, all depending on the size of the site and operation.

Oded Bashan, Chairman & CEO of OTI, commented, "We believe EasyFuel offers great value to many markets, including the refueling of immobile plant equipment. EasyFuel offers the perfect tool to gather, control and process information, and it is easy to implement and maintain in the different environments."

OTI's wholly owned subsidiary, OTI Africa, is responsible for implementation, training and support of this project.

EasyFuel is easy, quick and cost-effective to install and maintain and the solution enables a fast turnaround at the pump. The EasyFuel system has built-in benefits for oil companies, commercial fleet operators, financial institutions, and private motorists. The oil companies build loyalty with fleet companies via long-term contracts, as well as with private motorists. The OTI solutions are easily integrated into existing hardware and software systems. The system allows for 24-hour non-attendant sales, as well as greater in-store purchases. Fleet companies eliminate non-authorized fueling and receive comprehensive billing and detailed operating information. The financial institutions benefit from new transaction fees and greater cash flows. Retail customers receive 24-hour, fast, cashless service and loyalty program rewards.

wobei die letzte aus der Türkei die schönste ist. Nicht nur Studenten (siehe Artikel) finden diese Bezahlsystem gut, sondern viele Jugendliche. Wenn das in Deutschland angeboten würde, dann wäre das der Renner. Das passt nämlich so richtig ins coole Handyzeitalter.

ob wir diesmal die 1,7 $ knacken. Normal wäre allerdings leider das Sommerloch.

bei 1,6 $. Was meint ihr?

nur rechne ich zum herbst hin wieder mit sinkenden Kursen, außer die fangen mal an Gewinne zu machen,
was ja nach mehr als 10 Jahren mal Zeit wäre, die letzten Aufträge sollten doch ein bißchen Geld in die
Kassen spülen, bin gespannt, ob sich das schon in dem nächsten halbjahresbericht schon sehen läßt.

aber sie verbrennen nach wievor zuviel cash. Diese neuen Aufträge werden, daß hoffentlich deutlich bremsen können, aber es sind nur 2 Mio USD pro Jahr, das verbrauchen die leider pro quartal.
Die Frage ist auch wie hoch die Aufwände sind.
Aber das minus am Jahresende sollte durch die ständigen Aufträge doch wesentlich geringer sein als 2008
Net los war im 1 Q 09 2,6 Mio daher glaube ich noch nicht an ein positives Jahr

was meint Ihr dazu?

ich gebe dir komplett recht. Ein Plus von 2 Mio. $ pro Jahr Dank diesem Projekt aus Polen ist nicht gerade viel. Es ist aber mehr an Umsatz, als die vielen Meldungen von neuen Projekten der letzten Zeit. Insgesammt stimmt es mich aber besser, dass diese neuen Projekte die Chancen für größere Umsätze in der Zukunft bringen. Lange und bange Monate hörte man nichts. Jetzt wird und kann offensichtlich über Erfolge am Markt berichtet werden.

Unabhängig davon ist natürlich die Kostensituation, welche weiterhin zu hohen Verlusten geführt hat. Ich hoffe, hier kann OTI das Steuer herumreißen. Angekündigt wurden schließlich Anstrengungen hierfür. Falls die Kosten nicht reduziert weren können, helfen nur Großaufträge. Der Umsatz müsste dann um mehr als 50%, womöglich 80% angehoben werden. Und auf diese Großaufträge warten wir ja alle.

Offensichtlich wird in der Knesset in dieser Woche über die Einführung von Biometrischen ID-Cards in Israel gesprochen.

Project von OTI, die haben die ID Karten für die Gastarbeiter, die jeden Tag über die Grenze kommen
gemacht. Damit verkürzte sich die Einreisezeit trastisch.

um den Austausch aller Personalausweise und Reisepässe der Israelis.

Viel positives erwarte ich mir nicht


FORT LEE, N.J., Aug. 19, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Track Innovations Ltd., (OTI) (Nasdaq:OTIV - News), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions, for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications, announced today that it will report first half 2009 financial results on Tuesday, August 25, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The Company has scheduled a conference call and simultaneous webcast that will be hosted by Oded Bashan, Chairman and CEO, Ohad Bashan, President, and Tanir Horn, CFO. To participate, call:

wohl eher, ob der Umsatz gehalten werden konnte. Ich hoffe, dass wenigstns dieses Minimalziel erreicht wurde. Schließlich stecken wir noch in der Wirtschaftskrise. Es wurden in der letzten Zeit zwar kleinere Projekte erzielt. Diese ergeben aber noch keinen größeren Umsatz. Das dürfte mit diesen noch einige Jahre dauern.
Das Hauptaugenmerk müsste und wird die Senkung der Kosten sein. Hier bin ich gespannt, wie OTI voran gekommen ist.

finance.yahoo.com/news/...2009-pz-2041568352.html?x=0&.v=1

Weniger Umsatz, weniger Verluste, aber immer noch Verluste. Umsatzziel ist bis Jahresende erheblich reduziert.

Die doch prozentual erheblichen Kostenreduktion stimmt mich positiv, da Maßnahmen zu Kostenreduktionen meistens Zeit brauchen, bis sie sich positiv auswirken. Bei weiteren Kostenreduktionen bräuchten wir noch einen dicken Auftrag.
