BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Makeme 2020]

If there is a 2nd strike it just means that the BOD is up for re election. With a > 50 % vote required to move the BOD on its likely they will stay.
Sean will stay on if there is a 2nd strike. But if the BOD is removed at a later meeting Sean will likely resign leaving the business completely rudderless. This would play into shorters hands and we could easily hit a low of below 10 cents.
To sack the BOD now is an emotional rather than a rational decision for holders..
I did not expect revenue this quarter and i do not expect to see revenue until the Sept or Dec quarter. The market for BRN products just has not arrived yet. Its hard to move your product if there are no buyers. Once the market starts moving it is predicted to grow quickly.

So why is Sean saying watch the financials since 2023

 

[GazDix]

Hi all,

Disappointing about revenue, but it seems a lot is still going on behind the scenes. My time-horizon has moved along seeing there is a lot of tension in the macro environment such as international conflcts and stagflation. To produce a disappointing result when times are booming, then other opportunities would be more desirable. But for now, I have adjusted to a longer timeframe.

Would still like to see the company to improve its communication to SHs. But that has been discussed to death. I still hope it changes nonetheless.

Interesting to include a top 50 this time. Anyway, here are the movements from the top 20:

1. PVDM (founder) - same
2. Citi - down about 1 million shares (they zig zag up and down every quarter).
3. BNP - up about 7 milions shares. They have accumulated large amounts throughout all of 2023 and keep on doing so into this year.
4. Merril - down 10 million shares. This is by far the biggest drop for them after keeping more or less the same amount for a long time.
5. HSBC Australia - up 15 million shares. Massive turnaround.
6. JP Morgan - up 8 million. Since 2023 all together they are up around 20 million shares.
7. BNP (2) - down 600k.
8. LDA Capital (NEW). As the announcement I guess.
9. National Nominees - up 7 million.
10. BNP (3) - up 400k.
11. HSBC (2). up 1 million.
12. Certaine - Down 800k.
13. Osserian fam - sold 600k. First time they have sold since I have been tracking.
14. Finclear - Down 100k
15. Crossfield - down 150k.
16. BNP (4) - up 1 million.
17. Paul (retail) - same.
18. Jeff (retail) - Little sell
19. David (retail) - same
20. The Stardust Super Fund - same.

So in the top 20 alone there was an addition of about 26 million shares bought (not including LDA's entry). This is positive.

Lots of retail in the top 50. I did a few Google searches on some of them. Just seem like ordinary hard working folks mostly (not naming names). Two I found had an engineering background like @Diogenese .
It will be interesting if they include the top 50 next time and see the sentiment down there after the AGM and the next quarterly.

Fair enough to those who need to vent. We will get there... One day.

[Frank Zappa]

It's been eating me up all day, so to highlight the arrogance/ignorance of some posters, see the below lists.
Anyone self-righteous enough to vote no should also note that Sean Hehir will not be required to be re-elected, so if all of your blame is directed at him, enjoy seeing your portfolio get hammered whilst the company is run the same way as before...wait...isn't that what you're already upset about anyway?

The 1st being leaders who you are suggesting don't warrant their remuneration.
People who you suggest should work harder and for less money, or replace them with someone less qualified who'll take less money?
Definitely sounds like a great idea to incentivise them to sell more IP.

The 2nd being the board who you would smugly either vote to spill; as a middle-finger-gesture, or truly want to see replaced.
I assume you all have similar or greater experience in the industry. Can you offer a suggestion for better candidates and what they can SPECIFICALLY implement to force prospects to buy Brainchip IP?

All these great names by SFA revenue .

Oh well, let's move on.
I want to hear what Sean and management have to say this time.

 

[CHIPS]

Evening Chippers,

After looking over a few numbers today , on lack there of , have noticed something..

Before I get started , Anil Mankar ( the chip ) , OBVIOUSLY needs to stay.
We both have lack of hair if nothing else.

According to the 28/4/2024 top 50 shareholders , list graciously provide by management, Obviously to take our minds off the the bigger picture.

Point 1, This relates to management & disclosure of what KMP...( Anil M. In this case ) are up to .
Enveloped over the entire board & KMP ...strategic people and more so when thay ( Anil ) are the 4th largest shareholder on the registry , albeit under 5%.
Would appear, after review of the Ann Report there is a error .....numbers do not gell.

Page 23 Ann Report. The shares held by Anil Mankar , held under Merrill Lynch (Aust) Nominees Pty Ltd on behalf of Mr Mankar......do not tally .

Page 23 , holds 84, 999,833 shares.
Page 69 , holds 86,833,100 shares .
Discrepancy of 1, 833,265 shares.

Apparently HLB Mann Judd WA, are our Auditors and only received $59,260.00 USD to vett the books on behalf of shareholders.



Point 2, If we take the top shareholders list supplied in the Annual Report , accounts up to December 2023, followed by the top shareholders list as of 28th April 2024 , would appear Anil Mankar has offloaded a few ..... without manigement informing the the market ????
Granted Anil only controls 4.163 % ( as of 28.4.2023 ) of stock in this circus, or the 4th largest shareholder.....

Anil's shares.

31st Jan 2024 , held 86,833,100 shares fully paid , according to the Ann. Report ...page 69.

28th April 2024 , held 76,842,009 shares according to the list today, top 50 holders.

Would appear Anil has offloaded 9,991,091 shares in the last three months.
Without disclosure to the market ???????

If anyone can be bothered, please send the above to Fact Finder, don't savey email nor wish to.


Regards,
Esq.

I would not be surprised if the figures were wrong/the report contained mistakes. Why should BRN do something without mistakes all of a sudden? What surprise me is that the auditor did not see it. It is their job to look for mistakes!

I do not dare to think about Anil selling stocks without informing the market . That would be a desaster!!!

If I understand correctly, the ultimate responsibility lies with the individual Director under ASX rules. S205G

HERE

As you note there is a slight difference in the totals in the Ann Report of about 1.8 mill or so under Merrill.

In note (1) under the table they advise what his total is of the overall total. The diff would appear to not be his.

What's a couple mill between friends though

That being the case and given that Anil is under the 5% sub holding rule, maybe he personally was not aware that "any" change needed notification, not just Sub Holder notices, relying on advice, or lack thereof of his Broker or the Corp Sec?

Not to condone the action, if having sold is correct.

Though personally, the "amount" offloaded doesn't faze me given how much he could've offloaded.

 

[Kachoo]

Anil could have just moved them to another bank ..

Even if he sold 10 million whats the big deal he still holds 76 million he will be fine. Maybe he wanted to upgrade his house renovate by the missus something daughter getting married gift house who knows.

That's basicly 2 million. USD so you have tax what are you left with 1.2 million ? Hardly a bail just spending some of his money.

The likely hood is he sold he is also under 5% so I doubt he needs to report now too not sure on the Australian laws!

Just on OHB Hellas.

Was doing my usual random searches and a current ESA project popped up that only started the beginning of March...about the time of OHBs little reveal of playing with Akida.

Is in our space / satellite realm which appears to have a bit of interest these days

Coincidence or will they be progressing with Akida within the project as well...early days.

LEO-DIVERobust LEO Multi-Satellite DIVErsity Techniques For Enhanced User Terminal Performance​

• System/ Network/ Protocols

• Status
  Ongoing
• Status date
  2024-04-18

Objectives
LEO-DIVE objective is to design, develop and verify via a system testbed (STB) multi-satellite (≥2) diversity technique applicable to large LEO constellations to combat the detrimental effects such as shadowing, multipath fading and channel blockage events. Specifically, the Multi-Satellite Diversity Techniques (MDTs) are expected to improve the achievable peak data rate and the link outage probability at the UTs when at least two satellites are in visibility.
The STB is designed and implemented to exploit the multi-satellite diversity techniques and to test them in various system and channel scenarios, including:

• Low frequency band scenarios (e.g., S-band) with omni-directional antennas;
• High frequency band scenarios (e.g., Ka-Band) with high-gain multi-beam ground terminals

The proposed switching diversity techniques are expected to be investigated for both forward (FWD) and return (RTN) links and adapted to the 5G NR NTN specification as proposed by 3GPP (Rel. 17 FR1, and Rel. 18 FR2).

• High frequency band scenarios (e.g., Ka-Band) with high-gain multi-beam ground terminals

The proposed switching diversity techniques are expected to be investigated for both forward (FWD) and return (RTN) links and adapted to the 5G NR NTN specification as proposed by 3GPP (Rel. 17 FR1, and Rel. 18 FR2).

So why is Sean saying watch the financials since 2023

Maybe he took the job on like we all invested in the comany and truly believed it’s going to be everywhere and everybody will implement it. But when it’s come to getttjng things across the line it a lot harder than he thought it was going to be. Hence why we still see nothing in the financials, or like many say here that money will start coming in the end of the year onwards, but it was sure a brave comment that I think he may have ducked up.

Why we are still at this level? Of curse because we have still no gains. Of curse everyone wish we would be at 20000 dollars per share but we are not! But i invested in brainchip when we had nothing than dreams and a mascot as a robot. We was asked by the board which design the box of the product they should use. And we was happy like little children those days. Now we made such big steps and our ecosystem and partners are big players! I would never sell or vote against the team (which anyway would make no sense to change it positively) just because of the actual situation. We reached a lot if you looking back until now. No negative news… products are amazing. I’m talking only for my self because you asked me. I better loose all my invest, then selling and watching how it’s rising after my decision. Second, why not selling and buying lower? It’s to risky in my opinion. If it goes down, I can load up… that’s all good night!

Are you hinting that BrainChip is cursed ..

Indeed questions on Megachip or Renesas ,Arm, Intel haven’t been discussed in any depth which I think can and should be without breaking any rules of NDAs.
It helps with moral of holders.
How can a CEO be breaking NDAs when all he says is yes we are still engaged with them and as you all know they sell to these companies and we are diligently working through their designs for various products but can’t give you details
Rather than no comment can be made due to NDAs. I am a long term shareholder and believe this type of request is very fair indeed
It’s all about communication which keeps the belief we are being looked after.

With the "Watch the Financials" statement by Sean, people seem to have short memories, in regards to what happened in the World after..

Like Putin invading Ukraine, after years of the US, pushing the boundaries of NATO, closer and closer to Russia.

These events had huge impacts on economies around the World, with steep interest rates rises, not seen in years (although still relatively low, they are high for the economic health of Western countries).

This affected business around the World, many businesses cut staff and it affected BrainChip's business (Ericsson being the likely candidate, for the IP deal that was shelved, although the relationship continues).

These are not "excuses" does anybody think it's easy to get New Technology adopted, in these conditions??


Thankfully, the World business environment, although still not on solid ground, is now moving forward again, especially in the areas of A.I.

We will see if it’s moving forward now when we managed to get any of these many partnerships across the line in the near future.

Good morning,

I to was thinking about this, I have been checking VVDN website regularly but still nothing that I can see, but the shipment dates may
not necessarily be published, only communicated directly by email to the pre-order customers with regards their specific order and
location on the globe....this could possibly be the current situation in my opinion.

Regards...Tech.
