BRN Discussion Ongoing

[CWP]

No revenue, big salaries, experienced staff leaving, continued promises with lack of accountability, what appears to be a lack of any actual financial progress toward break even status.
It does start to make you wonder if the technology isn’t all its cracked up to be ? The sector is pumping yet Brainchip appears to be sinking.
Was Mr Heir indeed a good hire ? His running out of time to deliver in my eyes, smoke and mirrors comes to mind…
Does anyone else find the “risks” section quite concerning ? Reads like a get out of jail free card for management if they can’t deliver on their promises.
Just my thoughts after the latest flop of a quarterly.

I see it positive … I was not expecting anything actually… and we are still in the game… nothing is lost! Key investors are still in and hold. Other s buy in…. Now let’s move on

 

[FiveBucks]

Better to be upfront about it, but would have been nice to condense it down a little..

Maybe a few less words and squeeze it into one?..

Almost seems like the focal point of the presentation..

Would have liked to have seen a few pages of opportunities to help offset the risks!

So much hope only to be let done yet again

How is it nothing lost? Dilution just devalued your holding by 5%

I've been in this stock for years and invested a lot in it. We were given such an optimistic outlook for it but years after it has been released to market - nothing. What is going wrong? And how can it be fixed and a course to success steered? Management have to address this asap!

I don’t know about you but I’m not a day trader or something… people loose their money by overreacting selling low because of irrational thoughts… I don’t care about what is now… i still think we can get a nice turnaround

Again people here get all excited with no reason. Wild theories with no foundation in fact. Creating an emotional roller coaster for themselves. Why? Company said it was a credit raise and that is exactly what it was.

 

[Fullmoonfever]

Me with the BRN team....let you guess which one I am

 

[TheDrooben]

A bit eachway with the CR........on the one hand extra $25M in the kitty at a very small discount to VWAP - many CR are conducted at a 20-30% discount and also an Insto willing to get in at that small discount as well is positive IMO. Small carrot for us retail holders - I think it will be oversubscribed and they will raise more than the $3M. The risk section of the presentation is standard for annual reports and half-yearly reports anyway so if you have been reading them you should know the risks. Would have liked to have seen some commentary on the progress of IP deals but the advancement of TENNS etc might be key to landing these deals........

Anyway Larry is a bit....

I don't think that is what is concerning people. What is concerning people is the fact that we need a CR years after we were told that the product would achieve 'explosive sales' and years after Sean said in an AGM that we would achieve enough revenue to cover our costs by the end of the year. The headwinds excuse only holds so far. Maybe we need to trim our sails to the direction of the wind? It's time we had some positive news from the company and some meaningful customer engagement.

In the interest of discussion about the company, I have been doing a lot of thinking lately.

I think John Chen (ex-CEO of Blackberry) would be a good candidate for BRN CEO. He's turned around Sybase from a loss making company to a $6B company at acquisition, though his record with Blackberry (before his recent retirement) was not stellar, he did right the hulking ship and pivoted the company away from handsets into IoT and security software. I wonder if he would consider coming out of retirement to try and commercialise the world-changing technology of a small neuromorphic tech firm?

... which brings me back to my point above

I’m in the same boat, been here 5+ years and have been overall happy up to a point that’s quickly approaching. Is it that companies are happy to “play” with the technology but then decide to move forward and develop their own in-house solutions ?
Either way it would appear, with the limited information provided, and the opinion of the market, that management are somewhat misguided in their plan to financial success.

It could be

I’m in the same boat 5 years+ It really does seem everyone’s happy to play with it then move on to building their own in house version.

I am coming to the opinion that Sean has to go and a new strategy is needed. The current strategy clearly is not working. And why can't they close these sales? They say they are close, but they have actually been saying that for over 12 months now. What is actually going on?

So long as you're looking at options for a new CEO, I may as well throw my hat in the ring. It can't get much worse than it is already, plus if I was the boss I'd give everyone a mental health day off work today.

 

[DK6161]

Great news from Sean and the company.
I have to repeat myself again here, but this is a long-term game. Anyone who thinks that this 4C would have significant revenue is foolish and should take a hard look at themselves.

It is critical and important that we continue to develop and broaden our technology portfolio.
Money spent now will ensure that we continue to lead the AI on the edge race!
I'd like to congratulate Sean for keeping the ship straight and continuing with our goals.

I'm with you Bravo, things not at all going the way we'd hoped. "Sean out" is the view I have reluctantly come to after so many broken promises and predictions that have not come to pass. Better now than before it is too late. Anything for some improvement. A CEO that identifies themself as a cat is even worth trying at this rather desperate point. Not happy today

 

[Unclederek]

Is it possible that one of the EAPs has taken a small stake in our company

 

[AARONASX]

Maybe, I am going to avoid specutions as only leads to my disappoint, but I for one would and would think sharing that as a priority to the market so as not to piss off your investors any more than your have already....example we gave 25 mil away in a CR to Apple, I would be happy then, even if it was 50mil. IMO

 

[Diogenese]

Leaving aside any bed-wetting/dummy-spitting sentiments I may harbour, I'm happy with that - an extra $22M in the bank and we each get a chance to increase our holding by $30k (well 100 of us do).
