A little mischievous JM, but on point!A new colleague for you Jessie!
@White Horse, thanks for taking the time to reply, and sharing your thoughts.Hi jpr173,
Very good question.!
Firstly because the report is based on fiction. They really are basing a lot of what is written on presumptions that really have no merit.
And we as shareholders are only to aware, that there is a lack of transparency from our management, for what ever reason. And if management have told them information that we are not privy to, then we really have some problems.
Lets go back to the quarterly. This document was apparently approved by the BOD. Not any particular individual. Does this explain Antonio's Faux Pas at the AGM. Did he ever read the document.? Because to use the vernacular he was swearing black and blue, that he was correct about the domiciling.
As Diogenese and FMF have discussed, their are a lot areas that really don't add up under scrutiny.
And to use ARM as a yardstick of sorts, for our possible future value, is more than fanciful, for something that is supposed to be a professional examination of our prospects.
Who in management was responsible for wasting our money.?
I am placing my hopes for this company, with the likes of Jonathon Tapson, Anthony Lewis and Steve Brightfield and others to carry us through.
That is for holders to decide when they vote at AGMs'. So far they have had support.
They have a 5 year plan in place and they should not let short term noise get in the way.
No doubt they review the plan on a regular basis.
There's a section in the report that gives Trims revenue expectations vs BRNs. That I'm aware of, other than the $9m in bookings recently mentioned at the AGM, brainchip has never released revenue targets. I wonder where that came from as Trim indicate it is from information released by the company, which can't be correct, unless Brn provided the expectations to them for the report.Admittedly, I've only just started to skim this report and either I'm just having a boy look or I fail to see where it specifically declares that BRN commissioned the report or that Trim / Author(s) received a benefit for doing so?
The disclaimers are the usual "sit on the fence" ambiguous disclaimers to meet regulatory requirements at a minimum imo.
For those saying it should be a ASX Ann, well, the ASX updated the rules a few years ago to stop companies from doing exactly that, hence it's up on their website / socials.
Given BRN did post it, I suspect they are merely trying to provide access to something written for and targeted to wholesale clients, for the wider audience.
Whether they paid for it could be debated, whether they even read it could be debated though, to save a lot of unnecessary posts and angst in forums, I personally prefer they hadn't bothered, but I get it.
It can provide an insight to different methodologies, pros / cons, upside / downside.
Whether you agree with, or even fully understand the content in its entirety, is up to the individual to interpret, get advice on and decide.
No clear categorical statement of being commisioned...why not if it was?
The company covered in this report is currently or may in the future be a research client of Trim Cap Pty Ltd (AR 1276369, ABN 87643977351) a Corporate Authorised Representative of.
Is there any information in the report we can find that isn't available publicly and could have only come from BRN themselves?

You do read the "source, estimates, assumptions" disclaimers under the data and graphics yeah?@White Horse, thanks for taking the time to reply, and sharing your thoughts.
I agreee with your comments on Tapson etc, and I thought the road map was great, and was the kind of details that we shareholders have been screaming out for.
But as for the Trim Report being based on fiction, I personally don't believe that at all. They could not possibly have pulled all of these figures out of the air. They had to have been provided by BrainChip, who commissioned the report. No advisory group/research company is going to make a public statement if they have not been provided with sufficient information from the company in order for them to make assumptions about the company. Why would this risk legal issues with BrainChip and put their company reputation on the line for nothing? It has to be based on facts provided by BRN.
And still the question, why would BrainChip release this report on their website and all of their socials if this was just fiction?
The potential redomicile announcement, the arrogance at the AGM and now this report....... I'm going out on a limb here, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a takeover on the cards....
I just hope we all get to share in whatever success is going to look like for BrainChip.
Any thoughts on BRN being a potential takeover target?
has Brainchip confirmed that they commissioned the Trim report?
if so can you point me to this please?
IMO this is a rubbish report with little insight in any area, gpt would do a far better job so it’s a big red flag if they are happy to throw away on this nonsense. hoping it wasn’t commissioned by brainchip so the positive then is that independent parties see potential in researching the company, even if they do a pretty pathetic effort.
@Wickedwolf. not directed at you.. but people can think whatever they like, and I don't need to convince anyone, that's their choice.. but the question still remains.. if this report is fiction, why would BrainChip publish the report on all of their social media channels?

Thanks JRP, hadn’t read the disclosure as closely as i should…clearly state’s commissioned report…this is disappointing that they would actually pay someone to do such a highlevel and uninsightful review.

Looks like Brainchip is now with Meta, I’ve always thought the Meta Quest should have Brainchip Akida built in. It’s a perfect fit. Akida’s neuromorphic, event-based architecture excels at ultra-low power edge processing, which is exactly what devices like the Meta Quest need. By offloading tasks like eyeball tracking, gesture recognition, and facial emotion detection to Akida, the headset could achieve faster response times, lower power consumption, and greater privacy by keeping AI inference on-device. This would enable more natural interactions, better immersive experiences, and extended battery life—without relying on cloud processing or bulky compute resources.

above is Meta's interview with Yann Lecun where he mentions his coleagues are very interested in neuromorphic processes / spiking neural networks because of their ability to constantly process inference without draining a battery

They could edit attendees out?Just as a side issue, the AGM video is not going to be released..
I imagine they are probably mortified at Antonio's behaviour towards shareholders, and embarrassed by the fact that our Execs and NEDs sat silently whilst Antonio made incorrect and blatantly untrue statements.
Pretty poor excuse, it would have been better to not provide an excuse.

There's a section in the report that gives Trims revenue expectations vs BRNs. That I'm aware of, other than the $9m in bookings recently mentioned at the AGM, brainchip has never released revenue targets. I wonder where that came from as Trim indicate it is from information released by the company, which can't be correct, unless Brn provided the expectations to them for the report.
The revenue is less than $9m but could come back to Antonio's comments around revenue recognition (accounting policy).
