Sunwin´´wo hin ?

Da mein Geld für mich arbeiten soll, habe ich mich in den letzten Tagen für einen Ausstieg aus SUNWIN entschieden. Eine Umschichtung in Papiere der Lufthansa sehe ich zur Zeit als sinnvoller an. Immerhin gibt es in 5 Wochen eine Dividende von 1,25€ je Anteilsschein und die Aussichten auf wieder steigende Kurse sind auch nicht schlecht.

Unabhängig davon werde ich SUNWIN weiter im Auge behalten, um evtl. positive Marktveränderungen nutzen zu können.

MfG Lavati

@lavati
Schade, dass Du mit sunwin die Geduld verloren hast. Was das Arbeiten Deines Geldes betrifft, wünsche ich Dir bei Deinem neuen Investment viel Glück!

schon zum wiederholten mal wurde only-sweet im Ebay angeboten.
Zwar unter zahnpflege, aber das liegt wohl daran, dass Stevia-Produkte noch nicht in der EU als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel zugelassen sind. Man sieht: es tut sich etwas. Stevia-Produkte von sunwin werden nach und nach auch bei uns bekannter.
Freilich, eine EU-Zulassung wäre natürlich ein Meilenstein...

Press Releases: GLG Life Tech Corporation

Vancouver, B.C. March 31, 2008 - GLG Life Tech Corporation (TSX: GLG) (“GLG” or the “Company”), a world leader in the production of high quality stevia, announced financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

GLG’s financial performance was positively impacted by several factors, most notably a significant increase in the shipment of stevia extract correlated to the key signing of a renewable five-year supplier contract with Cargill, a major multinational food company. In May of 2007, Cargill announced it would produce the world’s first commercial scale natural, zero-calorie high intensity sweetener, rebiana. GLG is a strategic supplier to Cargill for high quality stevia extract for its rebiana product. The two companies have worked in close partnership to develop a superior supply chain including leaf supply and extract manufacturing. GLG anticipates company-wide growth in 2008 and beyond as its stevia manufacturing assets continue to encounter high demand from its major customer.

”We are extremely pleased to report our 2007 results and outlook for 2008,” stated Dr. Luke Zhang, GLG’s Chairman of the Board and President. “2007 has been a pivotal year for GLG as the world has taken notice of the importance of stevia as an all natural, zero calorie sweetener. We have assembled a strong set of assets, contracts and personnel designed to move GLG into the forefront of the world’s leading stevia extract producers. Our revenue and EBITDA growth from the stevia business was significant in 2007 and we expect it to continue to increase significantly as we complete planned capacity upgrades and are able to increase our supply of product to our strategic customer in 2008. Further, we expect continued growth for the foreseeable future as the stevia sweetner market develops. Looking forward, 2008 will be a year of focused execution on our business plan in which our strong management team is committed to meeting our outlook targets.”

2007 Business Highlights

   * Renewable Five Year Supply Agreement with Major Customer Signed: In July 2007, the Company signed a renewable five-year supply contract with Cargill, of Wayzata, MN, for the supply of high-grade stevia extract.
   * Stevia Seedlings Company Acquisition: In December 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of Agricultural High Tech Developments Limited ("AHTD") upon which it acquired patent-pending, high Rebaudioside A (RA) yielding seedlings as well as key employees with significant knowledge and experience to further the Company’s R&D program. In addition, the acquisition gave GLG control of approximately 80% of the highest quality stevia seedlings currently available in China and successfully provided a significant measure of control over a critical step in the production process to provide the purest levels of stevia product.
   * Investment Agreements with Mingguang and Dongtai Governments: In August 2007, American GLG Group (owned by Dr. Luke Zhang), a related party of the Company, signed preliminary investment agreements with two government authorities, the Mingguang People’s Government and the Dongtai People’s Government of China. The Company has established two subsidiaries to carry out these agreements which give GLG exclusive facility construction, harvesting and refining rights for 10 years in the two top stevia growing regions in China.
   * Completion of $34.5 Million Private Placement: GLG completed a paramount private placement in December 2007 that provided it with the necessary funding to commence the first phase of its capacity build program.
   * TSX Listing: On September 30, 2007, the Company submitted an application to list on the TSX Exchange (Main Board). The Company's shares were listed and began trading on the TSX on December 11, 2007 and ceased trading on the CNQ exchange on December 12, 2007. This important milestone for GLG expanded its capital raising capabilities and its potential shareholder base.

2007 Financial Results Highlights

Revenues: Reached $9.2 million in 2007, representing a 549% increase over 2006 revenues, while fourth quarter revenues rose to $3.7 million compared with fourth quarter 2006 revenues of $0.994 million.

Stevia Revenues: Surged to $8.2 million in 2007, an increase of 987% over 2006 levels. Fourth quarter stevia revenues came in at approximately $3.4 million compared with $0.753 million in the same period in 2006.

Procurement Revenues: Rose to $0.96 million in 2007, a 47% increase compared to 2006, while fourth quarter procurement revenues came in at $0.37 million versus $0.24 million in the same period in 2006.

Consolidated Gross Margins: Climbed to $2.7 million in 2007, a year-over-year increase of roughly 209%. Fourth quarter gross margin totaled $0.9 million compared with fourth quarter 2006 results of $0.478 million.

Net Income: Totaled $0.632 million in 2007, a 202% gain compared to 2006 net income. Fourth quarter net income was $0.393 million versus $0.28 million in the same period last year.

EBITDA: Topped $1.5 million in 2007, an increase of 654% compared with 2006 figures, while fourth quarter EBITDA registered $0.478 million compared with $0.264 million in the same period in 2006.

2008 Outlook

The rapid growth in demand for the Company’s stevia products is expected to accelerate in 2008, as the majority of its high-grade stevia extract will be distributed to its major customer and demand for lower-grade stevia products continues to expand. GLG will undertake its largest capital expenditure program to date with the goal of expanding its high grade stevia extract capacity from 200 to 1,500 metric tons, a 650% increase from its year end position in 2007. GLG’s competitive advantage of patent-pending seedlings with higher Rebaudioside A content, vertically integrated operations, proprietary processing technology and favorable labor costs are expected to strengthen the Company’s existing position as one of the largest low-cost/high-quality producers of stevia extract worldwide. Additionally, the Company plans to launch a consumer products division to provide a variety of stevia sourced products around the globe.

Pure Circle

Audited Results for year ended 31 December 2007

PureCircle Limited (‘PCL’), the world leading developer and producer of natural high intensity sweetener
(‘HIS’), and which listed on AIM in December 2007, today announces audited results for the year ended 31
December 2007.

Results Summary

(Note:  PureCircle  was  incorporated  on  23  July 2007.  The results highlights are therefore in respect of
PureCircle Sdn Bhd (“PCSB”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group and which was fully operational
during the period.)
 
¾   Revenues up by 397% to US$21.8 million (2006: US$4.4 million) reflecting a full year’s production
and sales of high-intensity sweetener products
¾   Gross margins of 29.5% following improved utilisation of production capacity
¾   Maiden profit after tax and minority interest of US$4.6 million (2006: loss of US$3.1 million)

PureCircle  Limited’s  adjusted  earnings  per  share  (“EPS”)  were  US$0.024  for  the  period  from
incorporation  on  23  July  2007  to  31  December  2007.  EPS  is  stated  before  allowance  for  a  foreign
exchange loss of US$1.2 million arising on the conversion of Sterling proceeds from the AIM listing.

Operational Summary
¾   Good progress with development plans
-    advancement of Kenyan stevia supply initiatives
-    construction  of  new  Chinese  extraction  facility  underway:  world’s largest capacity crude
stevia  extraction  complex  (3,000  metric  tonnes  per  annum)  expected  to  be  fully
operational in early 2009
¾   Enhanced revenue confidence provided by new contract wins and the extension of the contract to
supply Reb-A to Cargill through to mid 2010.

Commenting on the results, Paul Selway-Swift, Chairman of PureCircle, said:

“2007 was a major milestone for PureCircle.  We have laid the foundations for scaling up the
business to meet our customers’ needs for natural high-intensity sweeteners which, in turn,
will enable them to develop and market new products which meet a growing global demand
for natural and healthy food and beverages.  

“Our growth plans are well underway and we now have the financial flexibility and strength
to deliver on our strategic objectives.  We are excited about the Group’s prospects and I look
forward to reporting on further progress.”  
 

Jetzt muß Sunwin aber endlich mal in die Gänge kommen, sonst ziehen GLG und PureCircle schnell an denen vorbei. PurCircle plant Anfang 2009 eine Anlage für 3000 Tonnen in Betrieb zu nehmen und GLG will seine Kapazität auf 1500 Tonnenn ausbauen! Dagegen wirken die 600 Tonnen von Suwnin langsam aber sicher eher karg.  

Dass Konkurrenzunternehmen ihre Kapazitäten ausbauen, sehe ich durchaus positiv. Das heisst doch wohl, dass diese Firmen Nachfrage erwarten und davon profitiert mit Sicherheit auch sunwin, denn only-sweet ist ein Top-Produkt. Das muß sich nur noch herumsprechen...  

Kurs Vervielfachung kommen dann umso schneller!!
Wäre doch gut! Oder?

GLG Announces 20-Year Exclusive Agreement for Stevia Growth and Production

"GLG is obligated to make a total investment in the Juancheng region of $US 60 million over the course of the 20 year agreement to retain its exclusive rights. The first year commitment is to build a 10,000 metric ton stevia leaf processing facility between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009.  This capacity expansion is required within GLG’s current operating plan."

10.000 Tonnen Produktionsanalge!
Wann wacht Sunwin endlich auf?
Oder ist es eben doch eine kleine chinesische Klitsche die im westen nichts bringt?
Wenn man sich alleine den Internetauftritt der 3 mal vergleicht, da sieht Sunwin nicht gerade gut aus. Den First-Mover-Advantage haben sie verspielt.

Zevia Stevia Supplement - Nature's Answer to Diet Soda

"The current version of ZEVIA just launched six months ago. You can find ZEVIA all over the northwest, and we recently began distribution in California, Hawaii, and a few other states. ZEVIA is very popular where it is available. We are working hard to expand our distribution, and we are excited that we will be along the eastern seaboard by mid-summer. But, some stores just can’t wait, and have paid huge amounts to ship ZEVIA across the country even before we have wholesale distributors there."  

die Tube drücken wird und Pepsi wird sicherlich auch etwas machen müssen.
Trotzdem stellt sich die Frage was Sunwin aus dieser Situation machen wird!
So wie das im Moment aussieht wird Sunwin wenig davon profitieren!
Ich würde mich schon über einen vernünftigen Geschäftsbericht von Sunwin freuen!  

Irgendwie ist das alles nicht mehr zu fassen.
Was denken sich diese Chinesen nur?
Einfach mal das Zeug in ein paar Läden stellen, 3500 sind für die USA auch nicht gerade viel, und schon wird es ihnen Tonneweise aus der Hasnd gerissen?
Wiedermal ein Beispiel dafür, wie man eine Superchance dilettantisch gegen die Wand fährt!

Corn Products International Adds Stevia-Based, High-Intensity Sweetener to Its Ingredient Portfolio

Moving to broaden its global sweeteners platform for the food and beverage industries, Corn Products International, Inc. (NYSE:CPO) today announced the addition of a high-intensity, low-calorie sweetener derived from the stevia plant to its growing specialty ingredients portfolio.

Corn Products has entered into a long-term agreement with Morita Kagaku Kogyo Company Ltd. of Osaka, Japan, for the exclusive license of its patented stevia strain, manufacturing technology and stevia production, along with global marketing and distribution rights.

The ingredient, to be marketed under the brand name Enliten(TM), is a naturally occurring, low-calorie sweetener. Enliten(TM) has a very high content of Rebaudioside A, the stevia component with the best taste profile, and a sweetening power ranging from 300 to 400 times that of sugar. Enliten(TM) is designed to provide a clean, sweet taste in a variety of foods and beverages, unlike the bitter licorice taste commonly associated with some other forms of stevia.

"Consumers worldwide are looking for a new, low-calorie sweetener solution that tastes good," said Sam Scott, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Corn Products International. "Based upon customer and consumer responses to date, we believe Enliten(TM) meets this profile very well."

Corn Products intends to achieve supply and quality consistency through an integrated supply chain, including the use of the patented plants in the Northern and Southern hemispheres to optimize supply across growing seasons. Contracted farmers in Brazil began initial growth of the stevia plant for Corn Products more than a year ago.

"In addition to current access to Morita's production in Japan, Corn Products is committing about $20 million to begin construction this year of a dedicated plant in Brazil, with a year-end 2009 completion date, to meet expected growth in customer demand," Scott said. "Enliten(TM) will be marketed in select Latin American and Asian countries, where the sweetener is already approved for use in food."

Corn Products will file for regulatory approval of Enliten(TM) in the US, a process that is expected to take several years to complete, and is evaluating filings in Europe.

"While the commercialization and production scale-up of Enliten(TM) is not expected to make a significant contribution to our revenues in the near-term," Scott said, "this is another initiative we are taking to lay the groundwork for longer-term, profitable growth."

Scott said Enliten(TM) and the agreement with Morita fits well with Corn Products' strategy to expand its value-added ingredients portfolio through multi-geographic alliances, joint ventures and acquisitions. As an example, he cited the Company's acquisition of a family of sugar-free, reduced calorie polyol sweeteners in the US and Brazil in early 2007.

"Morita is a pioneer in the development of several stevia plant varieties, including patented varieties in the US and Japan," Scott said. "Our agreement combines Morita's 30 years of experience with stevia and Rebaudioside A with Corn Products' global operating footprint and decades of local and regional marketing knowledge and strong customer partnerships. We are excited about the commercialization prospects for Enliten(TM) in the years ahead."

Die Umsätze in Sunwin sind mittlerweile eingeschlafen. Die Kursentwicklung zeigt auch weiter Richtung Süden. So langsam sieht es danach aus, als wenn der Kurs doch die 10 uscent sehen möchte.

Traurig, aber wahr!

Paraguay: Stevia – Süßer als Zucker

Da gibt es eine Pflanze, deren Blätter schon 30mal süsser als Zucker sind. Wird der Wirkstoff extrahiert, steigert sich die Süsse auf das 300fache. Das wirklich Revolutionäre aber ist, die Pflanze namens Stevia ist kalorienfrei, ihr Wirkstoff senkt sogar den Blutzucker. Eine tolle Sache mit guten Marktchancen, und, ganz zufällig, gedeiht Stevia am besten in Paraguay, einem der ärmsten Länder der Welt.
Autor: Thomas Aders / ARD Rio de Janeiro
 

Aus dem Bericht des ARD Weltspiegel:

- Es wird von grünen Gold gesprochen, man will auf den fahrenden Zug dieses Zukunftsmarktes aufspringen, den Zuckermarkt neu aufrollen und damit das Land sanieren, geplant ist eine  Anbaufläche von 5.000 Hektar, von Ertrag dieser Fläche könnte Paraguay in einem Jahr seine Auslandsschulden tilgen

- Die Regierung betreibt ein eingenes Forschungs-Institut für Stevia, Mitarbeiter des Landwirtschaftsministeriums beraten und unterstützen die Bauern mit Know-How

- Im Nordosten entstehen überall Bauernkooperationen, Schulungszentren und Lagerhallen, bis Anfang 2009 werden 98% aller Bauern dort Stevia anpflanzen, die Bauern bekommen aktuell für 1 Kg Stevia einen Dollar.

- Stevia wächst nirgends so gut wie in Paraguay, es wird 3 mal pro Jahr geerntet

- Der Preis steigt, man hoft auf weitere Steigerungen

- Die Nachfrage wächst enorm, Euopäer bestellen per Internet

- Im Beitrag wird von der „Unvorstellbaren Kraft“ der Steviapflanze gesprochen, es sei einfach gesund, die Ureinwohner benutzen es ohne Probleme massenweise seit Jahrhunderten  

Pessimismus in Ehren, aber 0,10 Dollar werden wir nicht sehen. Wir notieren jetzt schon deutlich unter dem Wert der Firma. Ein weiterer Absturz ist reines Wunschdenken derer, die günstig an shares kommen wollen. Der heutige Bericht im Weltspiegel und ein wissenschaftliches Gutachten über die Vorzüge von stevia werden sehr schnell zeigen, dass Bewegung - auch in den sunwin-Kurs - kommt.
 

Das hoffen wir alle und glauben daran.Ich schon gelernt,dass bei solchen Aktien Geduld nötig ist und es wird sich auszahlen-da bin ich mich sicher.Wir alle haben nur eine Gesundheit!!!  

Die Annahme das sich der Kurs nun doch eher 0,10$ bewegt, ist eine rein charttechnische Überlegung. Diese wurde schon einmal vor einiger Zeit gespielt. Rein von den Umsätzen ist SUNWIN zur Zeit mehr als uninteressant (leider).


MfG Lavati

unter o.a. link kann man den gestrigen Beitrag des Weltspiegel über den Stevia-Anbau in Paraquay noch einmal anschauen. Sehr eindrucksvoll!  

ich hoffe das Sunwin etwas daraus machen wird leider
schwindet meine Hoffnung!Ein offizieller Jahresbericht
von Sunwin könnte dieses ändern aber leider gibt es
keinen Bericht!Es würde mich schon interessieren wie Sunwin
finanziell steht und was die Firma im Moment an Umsatz durch
das Geschäft in den USA generiert!

Cola von Red Bull: Simply Cola - GALLIEN

"Cola von Red Bull - Warum nicht?" - so wirbt der Energydrinkhersteller Red Bull derzeit für sein neues Produkt Simply Cola, welches am 24. April gelauncht werden wird. Nachdem der Platzhirsch Coca Cola sich vor einiger Zeit am Markt für Energydrinks versuchte, will nun der König der Energiebündler auch seinen Anteil am Cola-Markt.

Ganz nach dem aktuellen Gesundheitstrend soll Simply Cola ein natürliches Produkt sein, welches unter anderem aus Colanuss und Cocablatt gewonnen wird. Um dies zu unterstreichen (und der perfekten Marketingmaschinerie etwas Stoff zu geben) beinhaltet dieses Cola weder Phosphorsäure, künstliche Aromen, Konservierungsstoffe oder Farbstoffe.  

bei sunwin werden adhocs, news etc. recht vernachlässigt.
