Cheers DKYou're right. You are too bias mate.

Let's hope the money is spent wisely eg on a SiFive+Akida2 tapeout + bulk demo chips.having access to funding from our well-respected partners at LDA Capital, strengthens our business continuity position against well-capitalized and more established competitors in a highly competitive market
If they're expecting revenue this year, why the need to raise so much capital? Or is this money just to keep operating expenses going eg salaries....Maybe I’m just too bias ,
If this agreement was for 30 million plus I be concerned .
For me this is a hidden message of expected revenue this year .
They already have 3-4 quarters of cash available + an additional $2.7m still to draw under the current agreement which would mean cash into 2025. Now drawing an additional (minimum) $12m in 2024 says anything but potential revenue incoming.Maybe I’m just too bias ,

To further add, the only positive that may come from this is the company is expecting some news soon which will boost the SP making it easy to clear the current LDA shares and they wanted to get bang for buck much like the Merc announcement.

CEO selling shares and 2 x senior sales staff out the door also doesn’t lend confidence…
Not “downramping” just stating the facts.

Hi EsqMorning sb182 ,
Regarding share holdings & where one sits on the BRN shareholders ladder...
Susan handles Brainchip share registry , been a while since I have spoken to her .
Regards,
Esq.
We know that Brainchip has indicated the desire to produce the AKIDA 2.0 as a reference chip. We know that Brainchip also is hoping to complete the IP design of AKIDA 3.0.Hi Esq
You beat me to it but this is the link to the Frequently Answered Questions where this information can be found on the Brainchip website.

sb182 every ASX listed company has to maintain a register of shareholders. A company can do it or it can as most do appoint an agent. In this case Brainchip has appointed Boardroom. Every company has a different approach to the release of information however under the Rules a registered shareholder has the right to personally attend the share registry in this case Boardroom and without payment of any fee inspect the register. Over my time with Brainchip as a shareholder the registry by all accounts has been a little flexible if what others has stated is correct. I have never had the need to contact so cannot speak from personal experience.
On the LDA Capital extension we know it costs about $20 million per annum to keep the lights on. We know that Brainchip has about this amount so about four quarters of cash runway.
We know that Brainchip has indicated the desire to produce the AKIDA 2.0 as a reference chip. We know that Brainchip also is hoping to complete the IP design of AKIDA 3.0.
So I simply ask the rhetorical question if Brainchip only has enough cash to keep the lights on for the next four quarters ie 2024 where were the funds coming from to turn the AKIDA 2.0 into a reference chip and if AKIDA 3.0 IP is finalised where will the funds come from to turn it into a reference chip.
Socionext and TSMC cost the best part of about $5 million to produce AKD1000. I am not sure if we had sufficient information to work out what AKD1500 cost at Global Foundries. AKIDA 2.0 and AKIDA 3.0 are more complex chips again to produce. If we look at the amount of capital secured via LDA Capital by coincidence the minimum draw down amount of $12 million would likely be sufficient to produce at least AKIDA 2.0.
and may also cover AKIDA 3.0.
I will leave it to others to say whether the production of AKIDA 2.0 and possibly AKIDA 3.0 as reference chips to demonstrate LLMs to customers World wide is a good or bad thing from a commercialisation perspective and a sensible way to accelerate that process.

AKIDA BALLISTA
Akida 2 Ref chip or the Akida 3 IP?We know that Brainchip has indicated the desire to produce the AKIDA 2.0 as a reference chip. We know that Brainchip also is hoping to complete the IP design of AKIDA 3.0.
When did they indicate this desire?
Thanks. Was talking about 2.0, mainly. Anyone know when, off top of head?Akida 2 Ref chip or the Akida 3 IP?
Can't talk to PoC of AKD2, but AKD3 has been spoken about by Sean and has been in some announcements, possibly the AM iirc.
They also provided a roadmap taking us to 2030 including many iterations of Akida, a while back.
Never rely on the expected payments. So many things are going on like earthquake in Japan, wars, recession, CCP, etc. It is a good thing that we have LDA in place just in case.If they're expecting revenue this year, why the need to raise so much capital? Or is this money just to keep operating expenses going eg salaries....
The Merc "announcement" wasn't even an announcement by brainchip. It came out in an interview with Mercedes about their new concept car.To further add, the only positive that may come from this is the company is expecting some news soon which will boost the SP making it easy to clear the current LDA shares and they wanted to get bang for buck much like the Merc announcement. I’m not holding my breath.
Not that I should need to tell a shareholder but the last AGM which is the minimum level of research a shareholder should do. It is even published on the ASX and it is easy to find there because they do not publish a great deal. As you are familiar with HC you should be able to find the ASX announcements quite easily as they are published on the Brainchip threads.We know that Brainchip has indicated the desire to produce the AKIDA 2.0 as a reference chip.

True. I just wanted to make a point:Not that I should need to tell a shareholder but the last AGM which is the minimum level of research a shareholder should do. It is even published on the ASX and it is easy to find their because they do not publish a great deal. As you are familiar with HC you should be able to find the ASX announcements quite easily as they are published on the Brainchip threads.
