SEBASTIAN, Fla., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- eMerge Interactive, Inc.
(the "Company") today announced that on March 15, 2007, the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida, West
Palm Beach division (the "Bankruptcy Court") entered two sales
orders (the "Orders") approving the sales of substantially all of
the assets of the Company's CattleLog and VerifEYE business units.
Pursuant to the Orders, Origin Micro Systems, LLC was the
successful bidder in a competitive auction pursuant to Section 363
of the United States Bankruptcy Code and will purchase the
Company's CattleLog, or "Animal Information Solutions," assets for
approximately $1,600,000. Chad, Inc. will purchase the Company's
VerifEYE assets for approximately $370,000. The Company will seek
to close both sales transactions as soon as practicable, and the
closings of these sales transactions will be subject to customary
closing conditions. There can be no assurances that the Company
will be able to complete the transactions involving the liquidation
of the CattleLog or VerifEYE assets. The Company expects that if
the transactions involving the liquidation of the CattleLog and
VerifEYE assets are completed, and the Company is liquidated, the
Company will return little or no value to its existing
stockholders. Certain Information About eMerge eMerge is a
