FORT LEE, N.J., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Track Innovations Ltd, (OTI) (Nasdaq: OTIV; Prime Standard [Frankfurt]: OT5), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications, today announced that approximately 18 million contactless ID smart card chips incorporating the OTI technology were delivered to the China ID Project during the year 2004. According to certain news agencies in China, the aim of the China ID Project is to provide Smart ID cards nationwide by the end of 2008.

Sarina Scheepers, CITI's Marketing Manager, recently handed the IT Award floating trophy to Harold Kimmel, CEO of Biometrics.co.za, in recognition of the company's success in entering the highly regulated US healthcare market.
The award follows the successful implementation by CareCross Health, a leading primary health care provider in South Africa of the On Track Innovation's (OTI) MediSmart solution which used a Biometrics.co.za's solution. OTI is a US-based company that specialises in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions. The solution reduced CareCross' call centre calls by 95%, resulting in a significant saving, both in treatment time and call centre costs.
The OTI MediSmart solution, which forms part of OTI's SmartID product range, provides patient and physician verification, together with information on the patient's medical benefits. Another valuable feature of the system is that cards can be used for more than one purpose. For example, cards that are issued for medical purposes could concurrently be used for Worker's Compensation programmes, secured access control, and time and attendance.
OTI is currently rolling the MediSmart solution into healthcare organisations in the US. One such clinic is Shoals Behavioral Medicine Clinic - a private psychiatric institution based in Georgia, USA - is to start the roll-out at a number of medical institutions in anticipation of proposed USA legislation which will see a market of 54 million children being forced to undergo psychiatric evaluations and tests on a regular basis.
Essentially, Biometrics is the identification and recognition of people using their unique physical characteristics. Fingerprints are the most obvious form of identification, but voices, faces, irises and even hands are unique to each human being and as such can be used to identify or recognize the identity of a person. Like SMS, email and the Internet, biometrics is about to appear all through our daily lives - simplifying, protecting, securing and assisting.
According to Harold Kimmel, "It is a major achievement that two South African companies, Biometrics and OTI Africa's MediSmart division, who developed the MediSmart Solution for the OTI Group, have been able to make inroads into the USA market, given the huge disparity in resources between the two countries. We are very proud of this achievement, facilitated through the USA registered OTI America and J4-MediSmart and hope that it will pave the way for others to follow."
The IT Awards floating trophy will be awarded by CITI on a quarterly basis.

A tender for the final development of the technology infrastructure will be published next month.
Zvi Singer - "Yediot Ahronot" 24 Mar 05 14:41
Hebrew daily “Yediot Ahronot” reports that the ministerial state comptroller committee, headed by Minister without portfolio Haim Ramon, has decided to develop biometric identity cards and passports that use physical characteristics, such as finger or palm prints, to identify individuals. A tender for the final development of the technology infrastructure will be published next month.
The biometric passport will free travelers from the need for a signature and identifying themselves with an electronic chip. A team headed by Prime Minister's Office general supervisor Uzi Berlinski, an international expert in surveillance, data security, and biometric systems, has been appointed to develop the documents.
International companies will be allowed to participate in the tender, on condition that they are represented by an Israeli entity. The biometric documents will be equipped with a miniature processor that will include biometric data of the bearer of the document. A national database of biometric data will also be set up, to make it completely impossible to forge identity cards and passports.
Berlinski said, "Today, each person exactly equals the plastic card in his pocket. In the near future, the document will be the person himself."

FORT LEE, N.J., March 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) (Nasdaq: OTIV - News; Prime Standard (Frankfurt): OT5), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications, today announced its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
Business developments in 2004 include:
-- First commercial orders in support of MasterCard PayPass(TM) rollout
have been delivered.
-- Initial commercial quantities of our contactless readers have been
delivered to Hypercom Corporation to support contactless payment
programs such as MasterCard PayPass(TM).
-- Approximately 18 million chips incorporating OTI's technology delivered
in 2004 to the China ID Project.
-- OTI America Inc., OTI's U.S. subsidiary, has been granted a contract
for the U.S. e-passport program. The contract is for the testing stage.
One or more vendor(s) are expected to be selected for the production
stage.
-- Sasol Oil, the largest oil company in South Africa, is in the process
of implementing our petroleum payment solution.
-- Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by 18% to $23.2
million from $19.6 million for the same period of last year. Revenues
for the fourth quarter were up 35% to $7.8 million from $5.8 million in
the same period last year.
-- Licensing and transaction fees for the year ended December 31, 2004
were up 177% to $2.2 million from $808,000 for the same time last year.
-- Gross Profit for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $10.4 million up
from $10.1 million in 2003.
-- The operating loss for FY 2004 increased by 281% to $8.8 million from
$2.3 million in the same period in 2003, mainly due to $3.2 million one
time expenses related to raising of capital and restructuring and $1.6
million increase in marketing expenses related mainly to marketing
efforts.
-- Operational Cash Flow was about breakeven, with $330,000 of cash used
in operating activities.
-- OTI raised $15.1 million in private placement financing which
strengthened our balance sheet and enabled us to support any size of
project as a prime contractor.
-- OTI acquired ASEC S.A. of Poland to enable OTI to provide end-to-end
solutions for the Emerging European markets.
-- OTI sold one of our German subsidiaries, InterCard KartenSysteme GmbH.
Oded Bashan, President and CEO of OTI commented: "the coming years present a window of opportunities for OTI to become a leading player in the ID and payments markets. To succeed in capturing the leading position in these markets we raised capital, we invest more in management resources, and expenses related to Marketing & Sales, Research & Development and General & Administrative. In addition OTI signed strategic alliances and aligned our corporate structure with our strategy.
"OTI is making progress with its business model with more projects reaching commercial deployment, generating more transaction and license fees revenues, such as with the programs of BP, China ID and EasyPark. Transaction and license fees revenues increased 177% to 10% from 4% in 2003. However, the financial model is not fully reflected in our gross profit due to first stage of implementations of additional projects in the payments and ID markets that are characterized by high customization cost and infrastructure.
"Financially, OTI had a record breaking quarter and year. Revenues have never been higher, generating $7.8 million with more revenues from our core businesses of payments, petroleum and ID. OTI is reaching operational breakeven from a cash perspective, and combined with the raise of capital the Company had $28.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short term investments at the end of the year.
"Our operating loss of $8.8 million for the year was mainly due to expenses related to the raising of capital and restructuring that resulted in $3.2 million as explained in our Operating and Financial Review and as shown in our P&L. The restructuring of our marketing support strategy has also added expenses and affected our results. For example, Marketing and Sales expenses for the year rose by 47% to $6.0 million from $4.1 million. As mentioned, we believe these activities will better position the company and contribute to a better stream of revenues in the future."
Financial Results
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased to $23.2 million from $19.6 million for the same period of last year. Revenues for the fourth quarter were up $7.8 million from $5.8 million in the same period last year. The increase was due to the growing implementation of contactless programs around the world. Gross Profit for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $10.4 million up from $10.1 million for the same period last year. The operating loss for FY 2004 increased by 281% to $8.8 million from $2.3 million in the same period in 2003, mainly due to $3.2 million one time expenses related to raising of capital and the exchange of subsidiary's employees equity interest in equity interest of the Company, $1.6 million increase in marketing expenses related mainly to marketing efforts and due to the reduction of $459,000 in the participation of the Office of Chief Scientist. Net loss increased to $9.3 million, from $3.6 million for the same period in 2003. The increase is mainly due to the increase in the operating loss.

The Company has scheduled an annual results review investors meeting with conference call and simultaneous Web cast for Monday, March 28, 2005, which will be hosted by Oded Bashan, President and CEO, Guy Shafran, CFO, and Ohad Bashan, Head of Global Marketing and President OTI America, for 11:00 AM EST to discuss operating results and future outlook.

Das Gap ist bisher noch nicht geschlossen worden.
Es besteht also für einen Ausbruch Hoffnung.

WKN: 924895 ISIN: IL0010834682
Intradaykurs: 10,80 Euro
Kurz-Kommentierung: Die OTI Aktie hatte nach dem Hoch bei 12,25 Euro aus dem Januar 04 eine deutliche Korrekturbewegung durchgeführt. Diese fand erst bei 5,25 eine Boden. Anschließend bildete die Aktie einen Doppelboden aus und vollendete diesen auch durch einen Tagesschlusskurs über der Nackenlinie bei 7,60 Euro. Im März dieses Jahres erreichte die Aktie das rechnerische Ziel bei 11,00 Euro. Damit überwand die Aktie den Abwärtstrend seit Januar 04. Oberhalb dieses Trends konsolidiert die Aktie in den letzten Wochen. Mit dem Ausbruch über diesen Trend hat sich die Aktie weiteres Aufwärtspotential bis 12,25 Euro verschafft. Weitergehende bullische Optionen erschließt sich die Aktie erst, wenn sie signifikant über 12,25 Euro ausbricht. In diesem Falle wären dann Kursgewinne bis ca. 16,70 Euro nicht unrealistisch.

- Expansion Planned to all Passages Between Israel and Palestinian Authority
FORT LEE, N.J., April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Track Innovations Ltd, (OTI) (Nasdaq: OTIV; Prime Standard [Frankfurt]: OT5), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications, today announced that the Basel Project, a border crossing system that includes contactless smart cards and biometrics for identifying Palestinians who wish to enter Israel, is being extended to more access points.
ADVERTISEMENT
The Basel Project contract for the Erez border crossing at the Gaza Strip was awarded in September 1999 to a consortium including OTI who furnishes the front end solution based on its SmartID product, including ISO 14443 compliant cards, readers and related software. The Basel Project is currently the only operational project to use a contactless smart card with biometrics and PKI infrastructure. OTI's SmartID solution incorporates the highest levels of security and provides solutions for national identification card programs, e-passports, border crossing and registered traveler programs.
Oded Bashan, President and CEO of OTI, stated, " The extension of the Basel Project is a testimony to the reliability, security and efficiency of our SmartID product. OTI's SmartID solution meets the most stringent demands and has proven itself in some of the most secured environments. The solution and the experience gained in the Basel project can be utilized for other ID applications such as Electronic passports and national ID programs."
The biometric-based contactless smart identification system monitors the entrance and exit of Palestinians while assuring a completely secure, exceptionally fast border crossing. The project is the most advanced exit/entry border control system in the world to use encryption, contactless smart card technology and both hand (hand geometry and fingerprints) and facial biometrics as the primary methods of identification. The new gates are currently under construction in different areas and the first cards have already been issued.
Those wishing to cross into Israel will request from the Civil Administration a contactless smart card that will be programmed with hand and facial biometrics and include recent photos and personal information programmed on a contactless chip embedded in the card. In order to cross the gates, which is expected to take no more than nine seconds, Palestinians will be required to place the card on a contactless reader and place their hand on a biometric sensor for identification. Once the identity has been confirmed, an automatic gate will open allowing the person to cross into Israel. If there is a problem with identification, the person is directed to another gate for additional security checks.

China is developing new passports that will carry contactless smart card chips, keeping up with other nations that are introducing electronic passports, a Ministry of Public Security official said this week. He said the government decided late last year to go ahead with the electronic passport projects and expects to be able to complete testing and begin issuing the new documents by 2006, said Yan Ming, the director of the First Research Institute at the Ministry of Public Security. That department is also responsible for the new national ID card that the government is rolling out in the form of a contactless chip card, and Yan said lessons from that ID card project will be helpful in rolling out the electronic passports. Speaking of contactless cards, he said, “We believe the technology is all ready and grown up.”
While the government did not approve the collection of fingerprint biometrics for the national ID card, Yan said such identifying data may be included on the electronic passports. He said the national legislature would have to approve such a biometric program. In China, some consider it an invasion of their privacy to be required to provide their fingerprints. Yan made the remarks in a presentation to the Smart Cards and Labels conference taking place this week in Beijing.
In an interview with Card Technology, Yan noted that China is not among the 27 nations in the U.S. Visa Waiver program that are being required by the U.S. government to introduce electronic passports. However, he said the aim is to ensure Chinese citizens feel comfortable when they travel abroad. He said China would study the U.S. requirements from a technology perspective, but would not necessarily adopt them.
The demand for passports in China is growing as more Chinese travel abroad. Nearly 29 million Chinese traveled outside the country in 2004, nearly a three-fold increase from just over 10 million in 2000, according to the China National Tourism Administration.

Representing an industry first, OTI has developed a reader for MasterCard PayPass that allows customers to pay for admission tickets, as well as their snacks at the concession stands, by simply placing their MasterCard PayPass enabled payment cards in front of a glass window. The unique OTI SMART Antenna allows the card readers to function smoothly through the glass so that the payment card never has to leave the customer's hand. This solution is currently installed at the Loews Universal Cineplex in Orlando, one of the country's largest movie theater multiplexes.
OTI's technology is an integral part of MasterCard's PayPass program, with different applications using varying components and services. Numerous leading financial institutions employ OTI's contactless smart card manufacturing technology and personalization software, while merchants utilize reader solutions and related software. For example, OTI provided a turnkey PayPass drive-thru solution for one local Orlando retailer.
Ohad Bashan, President and CEO of OTI America stated, "OTI is proud to be working with Loews Cineplex as a part of the MasterCard PayPass trial. As every moviegoer knows, the most frustrating aspect of going to the movies is waiting on the ticket and concession lines. You want to get your seats quickly and purchase refreshments before the movie starts. Our reader solution provides Loews with an innovative point-of-sale device that speeds up these transactions with a minimum investment in upgrading the existing POS terminal. Our technology allows Loews' staff to focus on great customer service without sacrificing crucial counter space."
About MasterCard PayPassTM:
MasterCard PayPassTM is a new "contactless" payment program that provides consumers with a simpler way to pay. Using MasterCard PayPass, consumers tap their payment card on, or wave them in front of, a specially equipped merchant terminal, eliminating the need to swipe the card through a reader. The new solution is ideal for quick payment environments where speed is essential, such as quick serve and casual restaurants, gas stations, drug stores, supermarkets and movie theaters. MasterCard PayPass is currently being trialed with three of MasterCard's key member financial institutions in a pilot that involves more than 15,000 cardholders and approximately 40 merchant locations in Orlando, Florida.
