BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Diogenese]

Thanks FF. I agree with you and this could be true for all our partnerships prophesee included. So we could have already come to some terms for income from Qualcomm for example and no need to share this as sales are some time off. It would also mean never a license needed??

My previously mentioned thoughts on some of the partnerships is that they may be joint ventures where both parties agree to co-develop a product (possibly Socionext, Prophesee, ...). This is not a licence agreement. There is no licence fee involved and there are no royalties payable. The parties share in the revenue from sales in proportion to their contribution to the JV.

A short time ago someone posted an email from Tony to the effect that partnerships are different from customer licence arrangements.

Yes that is what Legal Gymnastics can achieve but not sure how it will go as a spectator sport with the best score being achieved for what the public cannot see.

The problem we have as shareholders is that if we accept what has been said about customers considering AKIDA as a key differentiator then there are very good reasons for these customers to keep the fact they are developing products using AKIDA a secret and we will have to wait for the balance sheet to reflect this success.

Is this the truth? I am clearly personally backing it as the truth.

The fact that MegaChips runs a business model based on promising customers complete anonymity gives me some confidence that this is not unusual in the semiconductor space.

The fact that a couple of years back the Chairman of TATA felt the need to apologise to his shareholders about the lack of information released about new products because of China stealing ideas and IP gives me confidence.

The fact that Nviso produced astonishing performance figures against leading competitors such as Nvidia gives me confidence.

The fact that Edge Impulse described AKIDA as science fiction and provides astonishing comparison figures for AKIDA against a GPU gives me confidence.

The fact that Mercedes Benz claims a five to ten times performance advantage for AKIDA over competitors and then heads underground again and Brainchip is scared to say anything beyond these Mercedes Benz words gives me confidence.

The fact that NASA remains engaged and Brainchip is not allowed to talk about it gives me confidence.

The fact that Intel, ARM and SiFive have partnered with Brainchip gives me confidence.

The fact that Prophesee after partnering with Intel and SynSense lauds AKIDA as allowing their vision sensor to achieve its potential gives me confidence.

The fact that Valeo, Ford and Socionext remain engaged and refuse to say much if anything about precisely what they are doing gives me confidence.

The fact that the Edge has become the new technology black and everyone now wants to get on the bandwagon gives me confidence.

The fact that Renesas has taped out their AKIDA chip taking the standard industry time for this purpose of about two years gives me confidence but continues to release very limited information gives me confidence.

But of course on the other hand everyone who has been employed by Brainchip since the release of the AKIDA IP to select customers in 2019 including the Board and the SAB could be part of a giant conspiracy to lie about NDA’s and EAP customers so they can get more bonus shares in a dud company which will be worthless when the lie is exposed and they are bail refused waiting for trial on remand at Long Bay.

I have no idea either. I mean I only just this minute learnt from Fact Finder what the Doppler Effect was! However, I do know what a Doppelgänger is and obviously it's a much bigger word, which I only know on account of having a striking resemblance to Agelina Jolie. Just kidding.

Because the market makers don't panic based on short term price movements like some shareholders.

Market makers usually hold shares anywhere between a few milli seconds to a few minutes, and not weeks/months/years like those some shareholders.

So I guess they don't need to panic as they are exploiting the arbitrage and volatility.

Recently a market maker made $4 Trillion USD worth of transactions though they're neck deep on naked shorts. Because they can. They don't need to worry about long term holds, they're just there to make use of the trades. That include the trades by long term investors too.
Worth reading into how market makers work.

I just had a closer look at this and it's got the whole trifecta going on; doppler, matrix, and binarized! It almost made me slip into a coma except my cat licked my face and woke me up.

By the way can someone post the article or press release that confirms MegaChips has not sold any AKIDA technology IP to one of its customers under NDA.

Otherwise can those saying that the only AKIDA IP sales that have been made are to Renesas and Megachips amend their posts to reflect that MegaChips may have made sales under NDA to their customers.

After all MegaChips has paid millions of dollars to Brainchip, spent large sums to train their engineers, modified their website and stated it is their primary intention to on sell AKIDA IP to their customers so at least allow for the possibility they know what they are doing and have done what they said.

It is a science fiction beast they have available to sell.

Much appreciated as we would not want to have any misleading information posted here would we?

PS: Why do I say under NDA well for those who are unaware MegaChips has a reputation for keeping its customer details confidential and the only ongoing customer relationship it admits to publicly is Nintendo.

The 1000 Eyes have cleverly found connections between MegaChips, Sony and Apple.

Gidday All,

Just some thoughts.

With around 20 trading days left before all this LDA Capital selling has been completed things are going to remain choppy so to speak in my
opinion...but once completed we will be obligation free I believe and will receive around 10 Million USD to go with the current balance of around
20 Million USD, so a balance sheet representing around 30 Million USD.

This looks good, but it can be a little deceiving, as it's been inflated by the issuing of more shares at a super competitive price, not reflecting a solid revenue base forming (just yet), but none-the-less, it's still positive and reflects that our Board have us positioned nicely to move forward, not forgetting that the companies we engage with also want to see that they are partnering etc with a company that also indicates stability, and are on top of all things financial.

Then lets just reflect on the time lines that were involved with the dispatching of our engineering samples/ reference chips, I am referring to the time involved from when TSMC first started their production run, it was months not weeks, followed by all the testing and finally Anil and his team signing off on the chips to be released to EAP's and so on.

The company his indicated sometime in May 2023 they hope to receive this current run from GlobalFoundries, then we do our business, then the companies we have/are engaged with do their internal magic, that is designing, testing, fitting our IP into their own products, some maybe already to go, others not even dreamt up as yet, so what I'm implying is, forget getting too pumped up with any major product flooding this year, the time lines to me at least are just too short.

The reason I'm personally so relaxed about our current position is that, I've taken the pressure off myself, as such, by trying to be realistic with the time lines and as I have already mentioned 1 January 2025 sits extremely well with me, good luck with your decision process, if we all respect our own choices, well, that's all one can ask for really.

Thanks to "the stable" for posting our current list of partners etc.., excellent reading!

My views only, happy for you to totally disagree, cheers.

Tech

That's a very good post @TECH . A couple of years ago I thought I might get rich quicker than I do now. The production lines and leadtimes for uptake of new tech was news to me (really because of my lack of knowledge) and thus my expectations have also changed and been tempered. I'm still expecting great things and once we get going the revenue curve should be pretty steep - but 2023 will be slower than I first thought. I know there is turmoil in the world but I suspect the real, and acceptable, reason for slower revenue is that selling IP is just bloody hard in the early stages. Once weget going - ballista....

Just because I know that you cannot read everything and like to form judgments on incomplete information I have provided the following link and will tell you it is on page 13 but I bet you know this already because it has been posted at least three other times the first by myself last year and the most recent yesterday by Fullmoonfever:

https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/pdf/Apple-FY21-Supplier-List.pdf

You will note that it even lists the USA base of Megachips along with a number of others but as you know the USA would be sufficient as Brainchip is dealing with Megachips USA.

The 1000 Eyes is very often correct once it states something as fact.

No opinion involved just the public statement by Apple being relied upon.

Yes. once we switched to a pure IP business from a chip supplier, it became necessary to extend the time horizon or return to GO without collecting $200.
