Cyw............why do you think they won't disclose much at the AGM? Curious comment to say the least.

This is the forum (AGM) where they(management) have the opportunity and requirement to disclose relevant info about the company to its shareholders.

This is the Companies chance to stand up and proclaim to the world how superior and necessary Brainchip AKIDA is to the world and where it is making inroads!
THEY will be saying plenty...........

And they will have to answer questions from investors which will be very interesting to say the least.

ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS GUYS! Dont waffle on with Shite.
This is the time to find out answers.

Totally agree Yak. Below is my post that I dragged over from the AGM Attendance thread that I posted earlier in reply to Mr. Funk Machine. It probably is more appropriately posted here in the "Discussion" thread.

Hi, I realise this is an attendance thead, but for the sake of not opening another AGM thread, may I suggest we post some good questions to be asked at the AGM here so that we are ready with some very good questions at the AGM:)

We are all part owners of the company, so lets show some ownership and dig a little deeper! :)

Unfortunately I’m unavailable to attend this year.

I will start by suggesting :

1.Can you tell us more about your recent partnership with Arm. To what extent is this partnership?

2. In a recent interview it was said by( not sure who) that we are expecting explosive growth in 2022, can you elaborate more on this, will it show up in Quarterly reports etc.

3. Can you disclose anything regards to your NDAs or Early access partners? How many companies are you talking with, how far along are they from potentially signing a contract etc.They have had engineering boards available since 2020 how is that moving along? (LDN from the audience : it’s moving along nicely lol)
Click to expand...

Agree,....and suggest that questions should be well thought out, be prepared in advance, and NOT be such that a simple "yes" or "no" answer can be given,...in other words, not close ended questions, but rather open ended (if possible) requiring more than a one word answer. When Sean Hehir was asked in a recent interview, "will you have any revenue in 2022 ?" his reply was...."Yes", and is such an example. Some additional color would have been nice, Sean. But the interviewer served up a softball question.

Don't let these folks off the hook with softball feel-good questions. We all love the Brainchip team but they need to produce revenue and a lot of it.
To me, partnerships without revenue attached is troubling. "Discuss", "explain", "define", "compare", "identify",....these are good action words that don't allow for one word answers from management.

Here are a couple of questions I have for consideration, ....
1) When ADR shares were made available, it was done so that U.S. commercial or institutional money could be invested in Brainchip (BCHPY) shares. Can you explain why volumes in these ADR shares has been so low, and what steps are being taken to increase the volumes of U.S. (and international) commercial broker and institutional ownership in these Brainchip shares?

2) Please estmate the earliest year that you can foresee Brainchip listing on the Nasdaq market based on the Nasdaq's minimum listing requirements?

3) Where is your home office located currently and what would be some reasons for relocating the home office to somewhere else? If you did relocate it, where would it be and why,....(for example, proximity to more customers)?

4) Can you identitify any financial institutions that have research analysts who are following and / or interviewing Brainchip management? If there are none, can you explain why that is? And as part of your answer are any research firms covering the company being compensated by Brainchip?

5) You have had a number of "partner" announcements recently. Although partnering up with other companies sounds positive, please explain how and when that strategy will result in new revenue? Can you cite one example, say ARM, and how specifically do you see the relationship generating revenue to Brainchip and when.....what year?

6) Are your recent partner relationship announcements more of a marketing strategy, or are they seen as revenue producing relationships in the form of intellectual property contracts that just haven't been announced yet? Why would you partner with a company if it did not result in revenue for Brainchip?


I reside in the U.S. and will not be attending, unfortunately. Regards, dippY

It's the way I read it JK. I think the SP will be north of $20 before we see a dividend and that won't happen until 2026/27 at the earliest unless Apple or Samsung begin using our IP in their phones in 2024/25.. What I like about BRN is their overheads are quite small unless they have a wage explosion once they go into profit.
Sorry Proga, but if you think it's going to take another 4-5 years to get to an sp of $20 I think you are grossly underestimating your investment.

We WILL BE IN PRODUCTS THIS YEAR via RENESAS according to PvdM.............We have confirmed connections to the biggest tech companies in the world not to mention NASA and the U.S government.....................We have IP agreements in place..............We have AKD2000 on the work bench.........WORKING. We will MOST LIKELY be listed on the NASDAQ within 2 years............

If the SP isn't more than $20 by end of 2024 I WILL BE AMAZED

Don't make the mistake of thinking the sp will be able to be held down forever. It's been moving upwards at a glacial pace strictly because of the manipulation by instos, and maybe wider market issues.......

Once we have revenue, once we have a few more names with our IP portfolio, once we have the markets attention..........things will look VERY different

My opinion only

I have read every opinion about future income, future value and future retirement but personally my ambition was to be right in my assessment that Brainchip was going to lead the 4th Industrial Revolution and in so doing create generational wealth and allow me to say to my adult son and son-in-law whose a technophobe now??? 😂🤣😂

I would have to say the @thelittleshort seems to have beaten everyone to the punch with Plumeria and found our second physical mass market product using AKIDA IP. Great work.

All I can offer as a reward is the continuing fanboy behaviour of Dr. Arijit Mukherjee at Tata Consulting Services on his LinkdIn public page where the first photo is the Brainchip display at the same trade show:

Hi all

The following comes from Plumeria website and I think this is where we will find AKIDA IP and note the name they use IKVA. No matter how you say it, it has a certain ring to it:

“Until now, we have been deploying our BNNs on Arm Cortex-M and Arm Cortex-A processors with great results. However, we felt there was more room for improvement, since these CPUs are built to run typical 8-bit and 32-bit workloads and don’t provide native support for the single-bit operations that our BNNs rely on.

Some of our customers asked if our AI solutions also support FPGAs, since these provide incredible flexibility, cost efficiency, and tighter integration. FPGAs turn out to be an ideal platform to implement our models and inference engine on, as they enable us to unlock the full potential of our BNNs. In FPGAs we can natively implement the binary arithmetic that we need to run our models. We therefore decided to develop our own AI accelerator IP core named Ikva, which we introduce for the first time in this blog post. The Ikva accelerator runs our own BNNs and also efficiently supports 8-bit models. Of course, Ikva is fully supported by our extensive tool flow and ultra-fast and memory-efficient inference engine that’s integrated with TensorFlow Lite. A 32-bit RISC-V processor controls Ikva, captures the data from the camera and provides a programmer-friendly runtime environment. During the development of Ikva, we aimed to design a new hardware architecture for our optimized AI models while keeping it highly flexible and suitable for unknown future models. In contrast to other AI companies that seem to either develop models, or training software, or AI processors, we focus on the full AI stack and the Ikva core completes our offering. With Ikva, we now support the full AI stack starting from data collection, to training and model development, to very efficient inference engines, and now all the way down to providing the most optimized hardware implementations.

As you know, we like AI that is tiny, and Ikva fits in small and low-power FPGAs like the Lattice CrossLink-NX. The architecture is scalable, both in memory and in compute power. This means we can target a wide variety of FPGAs, ensure we fit next to other IP blocks, and extract maximum performance out of the resources that are available in the target FPGA device.

The video above showcases one of our proprietary person presence detection models together with our inference software running on the Ikva IP core in a Lattice CrossLink-NX LIFCL-40 FPGA. This is a low-power and low-cost 6x6mm FPGA that is available off-the-shelf and includes a native MIPI camera interface, further reducing the number of components in the system.

Ikva runs our robust and highly accurate person presence detection model 10x faster on the CrossLink-NX FPGA than on a typical Arm Cortex-M microcontroller. Alternatively, the frame rate can be scaled down to 1 or 2 FPS for those applications where low energy consumption is key.

There are many target applications for person presence detection. For instance in your home, to automatically turn off your TV, your lights, or heating when there’s no one in the room. Outside your home, your doorbell can send you a signal when there’s someone walking up to your front door or a small camera can detect when there’s an unexpected visitor in your backyard. In the office, your PC can automatically lock the screen when you leave. Elderly care can be improved when you know how much time they spend in bed, their living room, or outside. The possibilities are endless, whether it’s in the home, on the road, in the city, at the office or on the factory floor. Accurate, inexpensive and battery-powered person detection will enhance our lives.

Of course, besides running Plumerai’s optimized BNN models, you can also run your own model on the Ikva core, or integrate Ikva into your FPGA-based device. We’re excited to enable extremely powerful AI to go to places it couldn’t go before.

The Ikva IP core, the supporting tool flow, and optimized person detection models are available today. Contact us to receive more information or schedule a video call to see our live demonstration. We’re eager to discuss how we can enable your products with Ikva”

In addition Plumeria has its origins in the UK and Ikva has links to the following Oxford University research and Greece:


So I ask you what are the odds.

Agree, ilL, almost entirely with your outlook, not so sure about your claim about AKD2000. Is there some evidence in regard to this suggestion, and if so, please point me in the direction where I might witness this, asap, please.

The 1000 eyes should be able to help, in this regard. Hope your correct. No announcement in regard to this as far as I'm aware.

Please, ( eyes ) PVDM possibly is all ears as well, A good question to be asked at the AGM IMO. Shame I can't make it to this event.

Do it soon, ilL, I'm all ears.

Akida Ballista >>>>>>> If AKD2000 has been proven functional, well, just WOW <<<<<<<
