BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Iseki]

almost funny.

A question for those who have been in the market for a while.
How much revenue do you need to justify a market cap of $1b?
One answer, "hmmm, around $333m"

The answer for unicorns. Nothing

There is something wrong there.

At what point do you decide that a unicorn isn't worthwhile, or better what do you do with a unicorn that was looking like getting revenue but the revenue day keeps staying "over the horizon".
My answer. REDUCE.
Which i did by 40% in August at an average of around $1, then a bit more soon after.
I see some double down. GLWT.
Consider: i am still holding. BRN does have two huge advantages, high efficiency in SNN, and head start in SNN. That isn't every app.

Since Aug, did prospects of other stocks decline relative to BRN? What has BRN announced that increases its revenue stream?
Oh it got 'cheaper', compared to still not having any revenue, and for longer.
Good luck with that as a basis for investing.
I am sticking with balancing risk over a whole portfolio.
BTW.
Not saying for example, par or wbt is better long term, but i haven't reduced those. The difference is that in each case they are making progress against a schedule.

IMO> BRN need to announce something significant by soon after 1qtr 2023 at the latest.

You tots confused. You better off with 100% franking and leaving future profit windfalls to others.
You just peed off others can buy shares on the cheap too. You not putting that in your equation, are you?

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and when that opinion is expressed they are entitled to have pointed out to them that which is not correct.

"Not saying for example, par or wbt is better long term, but i haven't reduced those. The difference is that in each case they are making progress against a schedule."

The clear implication of this statement by you is that Brainchip are not making progress against a schedule. This is untrue.

The CEO Sean Hehir issued a schedule through to the May, 2023 AGM and invited shareholders to judge him against that schedule at that time.

The ingredients of this schedule were set out by him and included warnings that income would be lumpy. There were many facets to that schedule but those which stick out to me as I type this response are as follows.

That it was too early for the company to issue guidance regarding future earnings but that it was expected by him that the growth in income would start to exceed the growth in expenses during first half 2023 and that as a result the Board had agreed with him that it would then revisit the question of giving earnings guidance.

The CEO Sean Hehir also stated they would look to adding another quality appointment to the Board which has recently occurred.

That they were close to completing their program for how the company would function with great importance given to the building of ecosystems and as we know the appointment of a new Vice President of Sales allowed the appointment of Rob Telson to the role of Vice President of Ecosystems and Partnerships to keep faith with this commitment.

Further the CEO Sean Hehir stated they were aiming to have staff numbers at about 100 by end of 2022 and this should be about the number needed into the medium to longer term. As we know the recruiting process of additional sales and engineering staff is ongoing in accordance with this plan.

We know that at the AGM it was advised by the CEO Sean Hehir that the Perth Research Centre would be considered the company's North Star and that Peter van der Made had free reign to focus on research and developing new technology and leave it to Sales and Marketing how to monetize this so that Brainchip led by Peter van der Made can continue to expand on its current technology lead.

We know also that Brainchip had a target to accelerate the filing of its patent protection and that this has as the CEO Sean Hehir stated been progressing at pace with 27 applications filed since the AGM.

As part of this process accelerating the release of the AKIDA 2.0 by years end with the probability of producing reference chips based on this IP early part of 2023.

The CEO Sean Hehir also confirmed at the AGM that shareholders could expect to see two patents granted over the coming months and once again this in fact occurred and was announced.

We know that partnerships have been achieved and advised to shareholders with one of great significance being Prophesee.

We also know that Brainchip has been working successfully with Edge Impulse to implement the Meta TF into its development platform as part of the plan laid out by the CEO Sean Hehir and that as of very recently Edge Impulse and Brainchip have been jointly aggressively presenting AKIDA technology to the market and Edge Impulses network of over 55,000 engineers. We also know that there has been a significant increase in direct down loads of Meta TF and AKIDA models on PyPi.

So while you have for your own reasons styled Brainchip as not making progress against a schedule you are either misinformed or being deliberately untruthful to prove a point because you are upset with another poster or for other unknown reasons.

I also note that you feel entitled to dictate to the Brainchip when it needs to achieve certain landmarks and that your timetable does not accord with the one set out by the CEO Sean Hehir. I am not sure what to make of this but as you like myself are a completely anonymous poster on social media who has no known credentials to make such assertions and impose such timetables I will go with the Brainchip timetable as presented to shareholders at the 2022 AGM.

Hi ceviche,

As you say, retired people are often more risk-adverse and often take a conservative position, and hopefully you are now free carrying your BRN shares.

• #35,525

I sold down my holding in BRN by more than half over the last two months.
My reason, moving to cash in already long term retirement in a troubled world with inflation, war. I have lived through troubled times before. Those still in the workforce may have a different view, rightly so.
I have become less enthused in the fluff without much stuff as i put it to Tony Dawe.
I still believe in the prospects for BRN in automotive as i see that as the big $ earner, but i see the upturn in price as now fully dependent on steadily increasing revenue. It looks to me that the market for innovation in automative is more dominated by getting supply of existing technology for most manufacturers.
When it comes to share price to revenue the usual range is 1 to 3x. BRN is way ahead of that right now, it is still a unicorn.
BRN need to start reporting recurring revenue by early 2023.

However, to refer to fluff in relation to BrainChip announcements does not accord with the facts ... it glosses over the fact that there is a significant lag between the issue (and payment for) a licence, and the generation of royalty payments, and denigrates the enthusiasm of innovation leading companies such as Prophesee, nViso, SiFive, Edge Impulse, or the endorsement of Mercedes, Socionext, CMU, DUTH, or our strong affinity with Valeo's LiDaR, etc., ...

But yes, income is lumpy, and may be delayed by economically induced belt-tightening, the invasion, China's threats and bullying, even the problems of "traditional" companies coming to grips with the astonishing capabilities of Akida, ...

The odd thing is that you set a deadline for BRN to start reporting regular income, but have sold down in advance of that deadline.

As to automotive seeking to shore up the delivery of existing technology, is that what Mercedes is doing, or Ford, or Volvo, or Stellantis, or ... ?

ADAS/AD is coming.

I have to say I think it is clear cut that Brainchip when it absolutely counts it does not even perspire let alone leak.

I have been casting my memory back and I cannot recall any incident where it was ever suggested by another poster here or at HC that Mercedes Benz were involved seriously with Brainchip.

So I agree with you that until Mercedes Benz feels inclined to cast a pearl about AKIDA to the market the silence on this front will continue.

I think the statement by Sean Hehir that they are extremely grateful to Mercedes Benz for the comments they made is deeply heart felt and a significant understatement of the impact it had on company moral.

Thankfully we have Edge Impulse employing a battalion of town cryers to spread their latest news.

Never loose site which I sometimes do that being in absolute stealth mode means that when say Kristopher Carlson one of our longest serving brilliant young engineers is at family gatherings he still cannot disclose to even his closest family members the career goals he is kicking on the World stage.

Imagine sitting there at Thanks Giving and over hearing his father talking to his uncle. His uncle bragging about how his son or daughter has just been promoted or been voted employee of the month and then asks and how is Kris going. Kris’ father replies not sure he does not say much but he seems happy. Well if he is happy.

I bet Kris just wants to scream I am changing the future of mankind.

On the 4C front In my private discussions with the company I do get a sense of excitement building about how market interest in neuromorphic computing solutions at the Edge is growing rapidly this year but it seems tempered by concerns around the general economic climate and World affairs and the actions of the US Federal Reserve.

The term head winds is not infrequently used affecting the semiconductor industry.

In consequence I am tempering my expectations for the next 4C but not for Brainchip.

In fact I am more excited than ever about what Brainchip could become over the next few years.

When I consider how tight the Brainchip ship has been regarding Mercedes Benz the other eight to ten EAPs become more intriguing than ever particularly as we know the former CEO Mr. Dinardo stated they were household names and or Fortune 500 companies.

Added to which the current CEO Sean Hehir stated these companies considered AKIDA to be their KRYPTONITE with which to capture the lead in their market spaces.

Exciting times.

Got to visit the company's new offices this afternoon, much brighter and fresher than the last office, it's bigger, nicely set out, and best of all from an accountant's perspective, the leasing fees are less.

Made the point of thanking all the staff I briefly said hello to, I was also interested to see two full time patent lawyers working in their own office space, that tells a story without me saying a word.

Has our technological lead increased? I believe it has; an opinion shared from someone who should know.

Sadly, I wasn't given permission to take any photos, the company has a new policy in place with regards privacy, and security which I obviously had to respect or no visit as such.

Can we expect Sean to honor his comments with regards Akida 2.0 the short answer is yes, but remember timelines can change, things can be rather fluid (if that's) the correct word, so the CEO will make an announcement when the time is right for the company as a whole, not based on shareholder anxiousness, I believe that to be as close as what I was told.

I left the Brainchip offices this afternoon in Perth with a feeling of calm, a feeling of quiet confidence that my decision 7 years ago to invest in BRN is still today the best long-term investment strategy I have ever made.

My 2023/2024 prediction of growth trending upwards now comfortably locked into my thinking, with that I'm happy to wait.
A young "ARM" potentially in the making......my opinion is yes.

Thank you, Peter, Adam and Tony for your warm, friendly hospitality, as always, I say thank you.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and when that opinion is expressed they are entitled to have pointed out to them that which is not correct.

"Not saying for example, par or wbt is better long term, but i haven't reduced those. The difference is that in each case they are making progress against a schedule."

The clear implication of this statement by you is that Brainchip are not making progress against a schedule. This is untrue.

The CEO Sean Hehir issued a schedule through to the May, 2023 AGM and invited shareholders to judge him against that schedule at that time.

The ingredients of this schedule were set out by him and included warnings that income would be lumpy. There were many facets to that schedule but those which stick out to me as I type this response are as follows.

That it was too early for the company to issue guidance regarding future earnings but that it was expected by him that the growth in income would start to exceed the growth in expenses during first half 2023 and that as a result the Board had agreed with him that it would then revisit the question of giving earnings guidance.

The CEO Sean Hehir also stated they would look to adding another quality appointment to the Board which has recently occurred.

That they were close to completing their program for how the company would function with great importance given to the building of ecosystems and as we know the appointment of a new Vice President of Sales allowed the appointment of Rob Telson to the role of Vice President of Ecosystems and Partnerships to keep faith with this commitment.

Further the CEO Sean Hehir stated they were aiming to have staff numbers at about 100 by end of 2022 and this should be about the number needed into the medium to longer term. As we know the recruiting process of additional sales and engineering staff is ongoing in accordance with this plan.

We know that at the AGM it was advised by the CEO Sean Hehir that the Perth Research Centre would be considered the company's North Star and that Peter van der Made had free reign to focus on research and developing new technology and leave it to Sales and Marketing how to monetize this so that Brainchip led by Peter van der Made can continue to expand on its current technology lead.

We know also that Brainchip had a target to accelerate the filing of its patent protection and that this has as the CEO Sean Hehir stated been progressing at pace with 27 applications filed since the AGM.

As part of this process accelerating the release of the AKIDA 2.0 by years end with the probability of producing reference chips based on this IP early part of 2023.

The CEO Sean Hehir also confirmed at the AGM that shareholders could expect to see two patents granted over the coming months and once again this in fact occurred and was announced.

We know that partnerships have been achieved and advised to shareholders with one of great significance being Prophesee.

We also know that Brainchip has been working successfully with Edge Impulse to implement the Meta TF into its development platform as part of the plan laid out by the CEO Sean Hehir and that as of very recently Edge Impulse and Brainchip have been jointly aggressively presenting AKIDA technology to the market and Edge Impulses network of over 55,000 engineers. We also know that there has been a significant increase in direct down loads of Meta TF and AKIDA models on PyPi.

So while you have for your own reasons styled Brainchip as not making progress against a schedule you are either misinformed or being deliberately untruthful to prove a point because you are upset with another poster or for other unknown reasons.

I also note that you feel entitled to dictate to the Brainchip when it needs to achieve certain landmarks and that your timetable does not accord with the one set out by the CEO Sean Hehir. I am not sure what to make of this but as you like myself are a completely anonymous poster on social media who has no known credentials to make such assertions and impose such timetables I will go with the Brainchip timetable as presented to shareholders at the 2022 AGM.

My opinion only DYOR
