interessanter Vortrag!
gruß opti
Nix mit Durchbruch, aber dauert nur noch so 3-4 Tage für eine Entscheidung...Nur wohin? Das der Gesamtmarkt den Ausbruch unterstützt läuft wohl nicht. Vielleicht mit einer News, sonst wird das bei dem Volumen schwer.
Zudem ist ja auch noch Freitag, ich meine also, wir werden keine großen Überraschungen erleben. (Seufz)
m.
von Solarzellen im Werk Bischofswerda begonnen! Dieses Werk hat
eine Kapazität von 35MW-40MW jährlich. Alleine mit der Produktion in
diesem Werk wird es Arise wahrscheinlich nicht in die schwarzen
Zahlen schaffen! - Dafür ist einfach der Output zu gering!
Arise wird für den "break even" also noch die 2.Produktionslinie
brauchen, um in die schwarzen Zahlen zu kommen! Diese Produktionslinie
soll eine jährlich Kapazität von 80 MW haben und nächstes Jahr die
Produktion aufnehmen! ...
Arise wird beide Produktionslinien benötigen, um aus der Verlustzone zu kommen,
da man nur mit beiden zusammen die "kritische Menge" beim Output übertreffen
kann! ...
Ich erwarte zumindest bis zum Ende des Jahres weiterhin Verluste.
Arise wird also aus meiner Sicht nicht "schlagartig" profitabel arbeiten
können! Daher sollte man bei einem Engagement in Arise "etwas Zeit" mitbringen!
Ansonsten hat sich Arise bisher sehr professionell verhalten und haben alle
ihre Ankündigungen wahr gemacht!
Aus meiner Sicht ist eine Arise durch ihre "noch relativ niedrige" MK ein
interessantes Investment, das mit einem "mittleren" bis "leicht erhöhten"
Risiko behaftet ist! ...
Allerdings bleibt es weiterhin schwer, die Entwicklung der Solarbranche
(vor allem der Margen!) im nächsten Jahr zu "prognostizieren"! ...

CIBC anayst has reduced the 12- 18 mo. target from $2.15 (June) to $1.75. See excerpt from analysts' report below. BOO!
< ARISE reported in-line Q2/08 FD EPS of a loss of $0.05 versus a loss of
$0.06 in Q2/07 and a loss of $0.05 in Q1/08. Sales in Q2/08 increased to
$745,347 versus $305,014 in Q2/07, primarily due to the first sales of PV
cells amounting to $460,676.
ARISE continues to expect PV cell sales volume to increase dramatically in
H2/08 to between 14 to16 MW and totaling $42-$48 million in revenue,
approximately a third of which will be in Q3/08. In addition, ARISE expects
Systems Division revenue to total $500,000 to $600,000.
While the ramp-up in production at ARISE appears to be coming along in
line with expectations, we also continue to hold mixed views over the
supply/demand balance in the solar sector in the 2010/2011 time frame,
when ARISE will just begin ramping up its value added technologies.
Due to the reduction to our forward earnings estimates and the recent
multiple compression amongst peers in the solar grade silicon industry, we
are reducing our price target for ARISE to $1.75 from $2.15, based on 9.5x
our 2010 FD EPS estimate and 6.3x 2010E EBITDA.>
WATERLOO, ON, Aug. 11, 2008 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) --
- Second-quarter highlights include first shipments of PV cells to
customers following start of production at plant in Germany
- Expects 2008 second-half shipments of PV cells to total 14-16MW for
revenues of $42-48 million, approximately a third of which will be in
third quarter
- Company in advanced discussions with additional customers for PV
cells
- Signs Offer to Lease agreement for a building in Kitchener-Waterloo
region to house 7N+ solar-grade polysilicon pilot plant
- Holding discussions with potential additional technology partners
- Conference call and webcast to be held Tuesday, 8:30am (EDT)
ARISE Technologies Corporation (TSX: APV and Frankfurt: A3T), which is dedicated to becoming a leader in high-performance, cost-effective solar technology, today reported its financial results for the 2008 second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2008. Financial results conform to Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and all currency amounts are in Canadian dollars.
"Among a great many highlights during the 2008 second quarter and in the weeks since, several particularly stand out," said Bart Tichelman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Foremost among our accomplishments was the opening of our PV (photovoltaic) cell manufacturing plant in Bischofswerda, Germany, the start-up of manufacturing, and the shipment of the first cells to our customers. In mid-July, the plant achieved on Line 1 the target level of 15 percent average efficiency for its PV cells (peak reached 15.7 percent), as well as our targets for manufacturing yield and throughput, and moved to 24/7 production to meet the demand of our customers.
"Our second-quarter results include our first sales of PV cells, amounting to $460,676. We expect this volume to increase dramatically in the second half of the year. Our current view is that second-half 2008 shipments of PV cells will total between 14 and 16 megawatts, amounting to $42-48 million of revenues, approximately a third of which will be in the third quarter. In addition, we expect Systems Division revenue to amount to $500,000 to $600,000 in the second half," Mr. Tichelman said.
Second-Quarter Highlights
- ARISE's new German plant began production on April 17, officially
opened on June 6, and began shipping to customers in June. The first
line is ramping up production on a 24/7 basis and is on track to
reach its annual capacity of 35-40MW within the planned six-month
period. As previously announced, the second line is planned for the
plant in the 2009 first quarter to add another 40MW of capacity.
- ARISE Germany signed its second major, long-term sales contract for
its PV cells. Under a five-year agreement, ARISE will supply aleo
solar AG with 90MW of PV cells.
- On May 21, the company completed a bought-deal offering under which
the underwriters purchased 20,500,000 common shares from ARISE for
gross proceeds to the company of $45.1 million.
- Also on May 21, the company announced that it had met the third major
milestone at its Silicon Feedstock Mini Pilot Plant Project in
Waterloo. This cleared the way for ARISE to proceed with its
previously announced plans to build a Pilot Plant with a target
capacity of 50 tonnes of silicon per year in 2009 and a target
production capacity of 400 tonnes annually in 2010. Meeting the third
milestone required achieving specific objectives at the Mini Pilot
Plant with respect to economics, scalability, and quality of the
process. The company met its first milestone of the project with the
August 2007 commissioning of the Silicon Refining Furnace version 3.1
(SiRF(TM) 3.1). ARISE met its second milestone when the Mini Pilot
Plant became operational in December 2007, successfully producing
polysilicon.
- On June 11, the company announced that ARISE Germany had signed a
six-year agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of ReneSola Ltd to
supply ARISE with 203.5MW of silicon wafers. ReneSola Ltd is a
leading solar wafer manufacturer based in China. The agreement
extends through June 30, 2014. ARISE now has supply contracts for
100 percent of its solar wafers requirements in 2008 and
approximately 60 percent of its needs for its 2009 PV cell production
plans. ReneSola is the seventh, high-quality silicon wafer
manufacturer with which ARISE has developed a supply relationship
that the company believes will enable it to meet its longer-term
requirements.
- On June 12, ARISE announced that Sino-American Silicon Products Inc.
(SAS) has contracted with ARISE to purchase 120 tonnes of 7N+ solar-
grade polysilicon. SAS will purchase 40 tonnes in each of 2011, 2012,
and 2013. ARISE plans to manufacture the 7N+ high-purity (99.99999
percent purity) silicon at its new pilot plant in Kitchener-Waterloo.
The contract with SAS is consistent with ARISE's plan to use the
output from the planned silicon plant to meet the requirements of its
growing PV cell production at its plant in Germany as well as for
sale to other companies. Under a second three-year agreement signed
between the companies, ARISE will consign 7N+ polysilicon to SAS. SAS
will use the material to process silicon wafers for ARISE, which will
use them for its PV cell manufacturing operations. Under this
agreement, the processing will consist of 40 tonnes in 2010,
80 tonnes in 2011, and 160 tonnes in 2012.
Second-Quarter and First-Half Financial Highlights
ARISE Technologies second-quarter financial results reflect the manufacturing start-up and the first revenues recorded for shipping of its PV cells to its customers.
As the result of the first PV cell sales of $460,676, 2008 second-quarter sales more than doubled compared with the 2007 period, up 144.4 percent to $745,347. In the 2007 second quarter, sales were $305,014 and all revenues were generated by the company's Systems Division, which mainly is focused on building solar farms and rooftop installations in Ontario. For the first half of 2008, sales were $920,724, up 87.2 percent from $491,815 in the year-earlier period as the result of the start-up of PV cell sales in the second quarter.
Gross profit for the 2008 second quarter and first half was a negative $1.30 million and a negative $1.28 million, respectively, reflecting significant scrap costs and under-used capacity resulting from the start-up of PV cell production on Line 1. Scrap includes breakage as well as all off-spec production, which was expected for a start-up production situation. The company expects to increase gross margin in the second half of 2008 due to stable PV cell production processes and increased sale volumes for PV cells as well as for the Systems Division. In the 2007 quarter and first half, gross profit was $30,360 and $46,809, respectively. The company also expects to recover a portion of its scrap expense in the second half by selling the material for secondary applications or for silicon recycling.
Operating expenses were $5.71 million in the 2008 second quarter, up from $3.61 million in the 2007 period. The increase was mainly due to higher general and administrative (G&A) costs, including more than $1.01 million incurred by ARISE Germany for payroll, legal, and travel as it started up production, compared with less than $200,000 a year earlier. Other G&A increases included stock-based compensation expense (non-cash) of $1.44 million compared with $0.84 million in the 2007 quarter, and higher payroll and professional fees. Research and development expenses were down at $1.50 million, compared with $1.59 million in the 2007 quarter. Selling and marketing expenses increased to $0.49 million from $0.11 million a year earlier, and included feasibility costs for currently in-process solar farm projects. In the first half of 2008, operating expenses were $11.00 million, compared with $4.94 million in the first six months of 2007 with the increase mainly attributable to the same factors that affected the second quarter of 2008.
Interest expense (net) for the second-quarter 2008 was $320,346, compared with interest income in the 2007 period of $120,876 as the company increased its borrowing from Commerzbank AG Germany. This increased expense was more than offset by a foreign exchange gain of $863,666, compared with a gain of $40,854 in the 2007 quarter. In the first half of 2008, the company had interest expense of $44,787, compared with interest income of $116,158 a year earlier. The first-half foreign exchange gain was $475,733 in 2008 and $40,854 in 2007.
The net loss for the 2008 second quarter was $6.51 million (a loss of $0.05 per basic and diluted share), compared with a net loss $3.42 million (a loss of $0.06 per basic and diluted share) in the 2007 period. For the first half of 2008, ARISE's net loss was $11.88 million ($0.10 per basic and diluted share), compared with a loss of $4.73 million ($0.10 per basic and diluted share) in the six-month 2007 period.
As at the end of the 2008 second quarter, ARISE had positive working capital of $46.05 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $42.18 million at end of the second quarter, reflecting the completion of the equity bought-deal offering in May. Subsequently, in July, the company made two prepayments totaling $20.60 million for inventory purchases of silicon wafers for the German manufacturing plant. As at August 8, 2008, ARISE had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $21.75 million. The company expects to be able to offset some of the funds required for inventory prepayments with customer advance deposits, thereby limiting the impact of silicon wafer prepayments on its working capital.
Outlook - Advanced Negotiations with Additional Customers
"In addition to the significant increase in PV cell shipments and sales that we expect to record in the 2008 third and fourth quarters, we are working on a number of other major developments that will contribute to our growth and ability to create value for our shareholders," Mr. Tichelman said.
"We are in advanced discussions with additional customers for our PV cells. We have supplied these customers with cells for their testing and are negotiating agreements with each. There can be no guarantee, of course, that we will sign any or all of these, but we are optimistic of doing so.
"We have signed an Offer to Lease agreement for a building in the Kitchener-Waterloo area that will house our 7N+ solar-grade polysilicon pilot plant. Leasing this facility will result in a more flexible building with respect to adding capacity in stages and lower costs than we had previously expected.
"We will proceed in the third quarter with the new pilot plant, according to the previously announced schedule," Mr. Tichelman continued. "We expect the new-generation SiRF to be fabricated and running in September at our supplier and we expect delivery of the first SiRF 4 furnace in first-quarter 2009. The plant's target production capacity remains at 50 tonnes per year in 2009, increasing to a target capacity of 400 tonnes per year in 2010.
"Based on our cost objectives for the plant and design concepts, and discussions with the University of Waterloo," Mr. Tichelman continued, "we determined that the University's campus is not the best place to locate the pilot plant. We appreciate that the University and the City of Waterloo have certain design, appearance, and size and use ratio requirements for the campus. Unfortunately, meeting these requirements would require ARISE to incur additional costs that are unnecessary to construct a plant suitable for its needs. ARISE greatly values our relationship with the University of Waterloo. We expect to continue working closely with it and also will continue to consider its campus for future corporate and research facilities that likely will be more compatible with the University's requirements."
Regarding the company's technology progress, ARISE's Chief Technology Officer and Vice-Chairman, Ian MacLellan, reported that "we have made good progress on the quality of our silicon. We recently have been able to pull a mono-crystalline ingot with our material in a float-zone process. This is an important linkage with our high-efficiency PV cell program.
"We have been very pleased with the partnership forged with Ebner Gesellschaft M.B.H. in the development of our high-purity silicon process. We believe that other similar partnerships for our technology can be productive," Mr. MacLellan said.
"In addition to technology partnerships," Mr. Tichelman added, "we also are considering collaborations for our Systems Division business. All such partnerships would alleviate some of the financing that we would otherwise require in the future."

Un projet d’un demi-milliard pourrait ressusciter Magnola La compagnie Arise décidera, d’ici quelques semaines, si elle implantera dans les installations de Magnola à Asbestos, une usine de purification de polysilicone, une matière destinée aux panneaux solaires que fabrique l’entreprise en Allemagne.
La vie pourrait reprendre dans ses installations. Voir toutes les photos
«C’est majeur, il s’agit d’un projet d’un demi-milliard de dollars et de création de 300 emplois», a fait remarquer le maire d’Asbestos, Jean-Philippe Bachand.
Mais tout n’est pas gagné. «Nous sommes en lice avec l’Ontario. L’entreprise doit prendre sa décision d’ici quelques semaines», a indiqué le maire d’Asbestos.
Des représentants de la compagnie ont visité les installations de Magnola à deux reprises. «Une visite a eu lieu l’an dernier et une autre cet hiver, a signalé Jean-Philippe Bachand. Alain Lemaire de Cascades nous a même permis une visite aérienne des lieux en hélicoptère.»
Le maire d’Asbestos précise que la compagnie Arise recherche un bâtiment existant pour implanter son usine. «Elle souhaite également s’impliquer dans la communauté et désire que son implantation puisse créer un impact important dans le milieu», a confié le maire Bachand.
Un autre point, pouvant jouer en faveur des installations de Magnola, réside dans la proximité de la matière première. «Elle provient de Bécancour», a-t-il dit.
De plus, le site de Magnola offre des possibilités d’expansion. «Le terrain et l’usine s’y prêtent et on se trouve loin des résidences», a fait valoir le maire d’Asbestos.
S’ils ne peuvent prédire le dénouement final, les intervenants de la région d’Asbestos assurent cependant qu’ils ont tout fait pour que le projet aboutisse. «Un travail du CLD et de la SADC avec la Ville d’Asbestos, en plus d’une belle collaboration du ministère du Développement économique du Québec», a signalé le maire Bachand.
Maintenant, a-t-il ajouté, la balle est dans le camp du gouvernement du Québec. «J’espère que le gouvernement sera sensible à l’importance d’un tel projet pour Asbestos et la région. C’est très important pour redynamiser le milieu.»
Québec doit négocier notamment la tarification d’électricité et discuter des programmes d’aide à la main-d’œuvre.
Au départ, quatre provinces, le Manitoba, les Territoires du Nord-Ouest-Labrador, l’Ontario et le Québec, étaient sur les rangs pour l’obtention de ce méga-projet.
«Nous sommes confiants, oui, mais il n’y a rien de gagné. Peu importe ce qui arrive, on aura le sentiment d’avoir fait tout ce qu’on pouvait. On n’aura rien à se reprocher», a mentionné Jean-Philippe Bachand.

Ich glaube, hier ist erst mal die Luft raus.
Die Gesellschaft Arise wird von hier einige Wochen, wenn sie in den Einrichtungen von Magnola bis Asbestos einrichten wird eine Fabrik der polysiliconereinigung, ein Material beschließen, das für die Sonnenbretter bestimmt ist, die das Unternehmen in Deutschland herstellt.
„Es ist Haupt-, es handelt sich um ein Projekt für eine halbe Milliarde von Dollar, und von Schaffung von 300 Arbeitsplätzen“ hob der Bürgermeister von Asbestos hervor, Jean-Philippe Bachand. Aber alles wird nicht gewonnen.
„Wir sind in Barriere mit dem Ontario. Das Unternehmen muss seine Entscheidung von hier einige Wochen treffen“, hat den Bürgermeister von Asbestos genannt. Vertreter der Gesellschaft haben die Einrichtungen von Magnola zweimal besucht.
„Ein Besuch hat das letzte Jahr stattgefunden, und ein anderer hat dieser Winter Jean-Philippe Bachand mitgeteilt. Alain Lemaire von Cascades uns fähig erlaubte ein Luftbesuch der Orte mit dem Helikopter.“
Der Bürgermeister von Asbestos erklärt, dass die Gesellschaft Arise ein bestehendes Gebäude sucht, um ihre Fabrik einzurichten. „Sie wünscht ebenfalls, sich in der Gemeinschaft zu implizieren und wünscht, dass ihre Errichtung eine wichtige Auswirkung in der Mitte schaffen kann“, anvertraut Bürgermeister Bachand. Ein anderer Punkt, der zugunsten der Einrichtungen von Magnola spielen kann, beruht auf der Nähe des Rohstoffs. „Sie stammt aus Bécancour“, hat er sagt. Außerdem bietet der Standort von Magnola Expansionsmöglichkeiten an. „Das Gelände und die Fabrik leihen sich dort, und man befindet sich weit weg von den Wohnsitzen“, machte den Bürgermeister von Asbestos geltend. Wenn sie die Endentwicklung nicht vorhersagen können, versichern die Redner der Region von Asbestos jedoch nur sie haben alles macht, damit das Projekt führt. „Eine Arbeit des CLD und des SADC mit der Stadt von Asbestos hat zusätzlich zu einer schönen Zusammenarbeit des Ministeriums für Wirtschaftsentwicklung von Quebec“ Bürgermeister Bachand mitgeteilt.
Jetzt, hat er hinzugefügt, ist der Ball im Lager der Regierung von Quebec. „Ich hoffe, dass die Regierung empfänglich für die Bedeutung eines solchen Projekts für Asbestos sein wird und die Region. Es ist sehr wichtig, um die Mitte zu wiederbeleben.“ Quebec muss insbesondere die Elektrizitätspreisbildung aushandeln und über die Programme für Hilfe für die Arbeitskräfte diskutieren. Am Anfang waren vier Provinzen, Manitoba, die Territorien Nord-Ouest-Labrador, das Ontario und Quebec, auf den Reihen für die Erlangung dieses Megaprojekts. „Wir sind anvertrauend ja, aber er dort nichts gewonnen. Weniger importiert was ankommt, man haben das Gefühl, alles zu machen, was man konnte. Man wird nichts haben, sich vorzuwerfen“, hat Jean-Philippe Bachand erwähnt.
