You will know your awnser in a way.
The half year receivables not yet received from customers was 2.5 million.
If we received 1.1 million this quarter like you say from Mega Chips then year end should show 1.4 million receivables.
If this number is higher then it could be someone else's money that was received or some one else is to yet pay.
We should have a clear picture some time near the end of February.
I know understand what the CEO said by watch the financles I'm a slow learner.

And to help you out feel free to peruse this article from Accenture. A Fortune 500 company who service many other Fortune 500 companies and discuss the future of neuromorphic AI.
I can’t see any reason a company of this quality would go on a Brainchip Podcast if they thought our technology was not a success!
Enjoy

I'm not yet willing to think that people "don't want" BrainChip's technology. It could very well be that they're not prepared for it and are being cautious before they take a technological leap. Akida's appeal to Prophesee is advantageous because they have a compatible product. Prophesee's cameras are event-based, and Akida's Spiking Neural Network is a natural fit.
Prophesee has found real-world use cases where an event-based vision sensor has distinct advantages over processing standard digital images. Other event-based sensors (including those which can sense sounds and smells) may uncover further advantages in their particular domain.
It could be that potential customers are not working with these types of sensors and need to find cases where they offer a competitive advantage or perhaps they are slower to adopt these technologies. Even in the world of software (with which I am familiar), adopting a new technology takes time, or in some cases, a change of management. It may also be new startups that want to be on the cutting edge and give existing giants in the field a run for their money.
According to the quarterly report, BrianChip still has 12-quarters (4 years) of cash runway left. They're still hiring, they're still making contacts and partnerships, even if they're not signing new IP deals right now. I believe that it is still way too early to say that nobody wants this technology. The first cell phone was demonstrated in 1973, but it wasn't until the late 90s and early 2000s before they were married to computers (aka "Pocket PCs") and became prolific in mainstream society.
On a side note, here is an excellent article on Event-Based Sensing and its potential applications.

Just because “some legends” have posted “reassuring stuff“ that others find comforting, does not necessarily mean it will come true. Nobody on here is a prophet, and nobody who is respectfully posting about their concerns should be shot down in flames or mocked with memes - it’s childish lowers this forums credibility.
Investors and traders alike, can only act on the information at hand, and right now that information isn’t strong enough to prevent this abysmally poor SP performance. This is why we are being shorted, and this is why shareholders have concerns. It’s justified.
Fact - management are being too coy with announcements. Tony and I have spoke face to face about this, and the company has obvious concerns about ramping, but I believe they are now over correcting. The tape out should have been announced, as should the Intel arrangement. They didn’t need to be marked as price sensitive. Other companies are releasing similar announcements without issue, and the company has an obligation for continual disclosure - not by socials, but by the proper platform.
Fact - there has been less commercial adoption than we all expected. Megachips was over two years ago and Renesas was over a year. Two licences in two years is piss poor. Revenue is too low, and somebody needs to be accountable for this.
Fact - the company isn’t releasing enough information to the shareholders about things that matter. What happened to the EAP? How many are still included in the programme? In fact, is the programme still running? Not everyone has the time to spend all day talking to a bunch of anonymous people on a forum to gain insight, nor should they have to. The company needs to do better here.
The dilution needs to stop and I don’t want to see anymore performance gratuities or options exercised until the shareholders are rewarded with a stronger SP, or a solid update with fact based optimism of a brighter future. It seems all the Brainchip staff doing well whilst the shareholders are getting F in the A. If staff truely are performing, then they’ll be willing to hang around to be rewarded by revenue. This is how most other companies pay bonuses.
Echos of baseless optimism on here are getting old. The company needs to start performing financially - it’s not a not for profit, it’s a public company with marketable product. Shareholders need and deserve a proper update on what is actually going on, so we can make informed decisions. Seans statement in the 4c was a cop out.

The link you posted comes up just fine for me (I'm here in the US). The MegaChips LSI USA LinkedIn page has a link that goes to the same URL, however, it does redirect to the Japanese Web site, but with the localization set to "English".
It's not uncommon for foreign companies to host one localized version of the Web site for the purposes of consistency and continuity. If the site doesn't come up for you, you might want to try pinging it, as it may not be resolving the "www.megachips.com" to its IP address, or perhaps your browser is not redirecting to the Japanese site.
Are you for real? You choose to have a crack at me for agreeing with someone else's post but you've not said anything to them about the original post

Thanks for sharing this article. Always interesting to hear/read the views of 'product developers' or what kind of problems they are trying to solve. In this case for me the most interesting statement was:An official website of the United States government

Kirtland Air Force Base
Command Interview: AF Chief Scientist Dr. Victoria Coleman
Pentagon, Va. --
- Published Jan. 26, 2023
- By AIRMAN Staff
- Airman Magazine
THE FOLLOWING IS THE EDITED TRANSCRIPT OF AN AIRMAN MAGAZINE INTERVIEW WITH CHIEF SCIENTIST OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE DR. VICTORIA COLEMAN AT THE PENTAGON, ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA.
PHOTO DETAILS / DOWNLOAD HI-RES
Coleman serves as the Chief Scientific Adviser to the Secretary of the Air Force, Air Force Chief of Staff, and Chief of Space Operations. She provides assessments on a wide range of scientific and technical issues affecting the department’s mission. In this role, she identifies and analyzes technical issues, bringing them to the attention of department leaders. She interacts with other principals, operational commanders, combatant commands, acquisition, and science and technology communities to address cross-organizational issues and provide solutions. Dr. Coleman also interacts with other services and the Office of the Secretary of Defense on issues affecting the Department of the Air Force’s technical enterprise. She serves on the Executive Committee of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board and is the Principal Science and Technology Representative of the Air Force to the civilian scientific and engineering community and to the public at large.
During the interview Dr. Coleman discusses the need to reestablish sustainable and trusted microelectronics development, manufacturing, testing and supply chain based in the U.S., the benefits of more focused and frequent testing of systems and the power of diversity in Science and Technology success.
Others are things, like neuromorphic architectures, where you move away from the traditional model of designing microprocessors. They are actually beginning to emulate how human neurons work. In some cases, the results that we get are phenomenal.
I'll give you a very concrete example. In the Air Force, we like to be able to match assets. Weapons that we have are matched with targets that we need to get after. So, you would want to make sure that you send the most appropriate weapon to the most appropriate target.
There are many, many combinations of doing this. For example, if I have 10 by 10, 10 assets and 10 targets, there are 25 billion combinations to finding the right match. A human being cannot do this. A computer maybe could do it. Classical computers can do 20 by 20, but they max out a 20 by 20.
A neuromorphic architecture can do 20 by 20 in about two milliseconds. So the capability that you get from the ability to build neuromorphic architectures completely changes the game.
Then there are also material advances. Using photonics, for example, for switching, you generate a lot less heat than if you switch voltages.
Quantum computing is another area where a lot of a lot of work has been done. We are seeing some applications already, like quantum navigation, for example, becoming really fundamental. Quantum navigation means that I can navigate without the benefit of GPS, which would be an incredible capability to have.
But you can go even further than that. One of the areas that I have been interested in for a very long time is what I call molecular computation, where you can actually take DNA structures and use DNA as a computational medium. DNA is a particularly good substance for computing.
Honestly, the only constraint that we have is putting enough money into the various research groups that can pursue these things.
Something that I care deeply about is our ability to prove out those innovations.
So we talked about CHIPS, but I want to put in a plug for one particular component of the CHIPS Act, actually the only component that we will be executing here in the DoD, which is the Micro Electronics Commons.
This is something that I've been working on for some time, certainly way before I went to DARPA. One of the things that has happened to us, in this desire to let the market forces rule, is that in order for us to prove out an innovation in microelectronics at the system level, we have to go overseas. We can't do it here at home.
So I talked just now about neuromorphic architectures. The NSF (National Science Foundation), through one of their expedition programs, has spent well over a $100 million on one specific project at Stanford University on neuromorphic architectures. Great work. Phenomenal. Smart, brilliant people.
In the university lab, maybe you can build three or 10, maybe 100 instances of a new device like that. In order for me to show the computational advantages that I just talked about, pairing targets to assets, I need to build millions. If I am going to go to a venture capitalist or an investor and say, “Please give me $20 billion to go and build a new fab to make this new thing,” why would they give me this money? I need to show to them that the computational benefits that I claim are achievable with this new structure have been proven.
Very interesting interview. I couldn’t copy and paste the whole thing in one post so here’s a snippet.
To me that dosen't seem to appear a problem that needs to be solved at the edge. Yes of course, it might have its benefits or use cases there also, and maybe it makes the most sense of starting to verify a new technology at the edge because of its obvious advantages (low energy consumption) and the increasing number of AiOT devices or their use cases.
But I've been wondering for some time now if the kind of problems (van neuman hitting a bottleneck as mentioned by this lady) quantum computers are targeted to solve have some intersections with what neuromorphic/event-based computing could already do now or in the near future if scaled for High Performance Computing (large rendering clusters, lots of akidas inside servers etc.).
Has anybody of you an opinion to that?
I would be happy about food for thought/opinions/articles reagarding similar use cases of neuromorphic and quantum computing or using neuromorphic computing for the area of HPC.
