BRN Discussion Ongoing

[DingoBorat]

Maybe they are targeting FF with the last Skill Needed requirement for this employment position .....
being * Existing member of Tsex or HC Forums an advantage.

This is signalling, that they want an "active" Company representative, on the forums?..

Otherwise, why say "existing"..

It was commented on years ago, about a company that had such direct investor forum representation and it seemed to work well for them..

But maybe "that" company is no longer around ..

Can I ask why he wouldn't know ?. My thinking is ( still hopeful but probably confused ) If megachip did put us in nintendo then Sean would know the volume. Bloody hope we are involved but its looking grim.

Licensees' would have to provide Sean with their sales estimates before he could estimate royalties in advance. It's unlikely they would share company sensitive information with BRN.
So it's likely the $9mill is for licence fees only. If they are high volume sales customers that would be great for us in royalty terms.

 

[DingoBorat]

those are teardown videos

Do you understand that BrainChip is primarily selling (questionable reference) IP and not chips (for the most part) and that the MegaChips licence is for IP and not chips?

Nintendo is one of MegaChips biggest customers.

I'm willing to bet, that there has "never" been something in a Nintendo product, that has "MegaChips" plastered over it, nor would there (need to) be a chip, in any product that contains BrainChip's IP, that says "AKIDA" or "BrainChip" other than products like Bascom Hunters, which are 1st Generation models, using OTSCs.

None of this is to say, that we are or aren't in it, but at this stage, no one here can say categorically, that we are or aren't.

I wonder if we can ask BRN if they would mind putting a clause in their NDAs saying after one year of sales within any product we can be announced as being inside
Sure would help the prices move along

It sure is using alot of data going back and forth if it isn't using edge LLM technology, specifically neuromorphic compute. Iam not technical so i could be talking nonsense however I do believe TENNS could be of use here ?.

 

[Food4 thought]

So on linked in
Posted by Brainchip again is the Trim report
I don’t get it
Why would you be so proud of this report when it actually devalues your sp from previous reports

What is going on?
I am lost at the direction these apparently amazing board members take

Any clues anybody

Nintendo is expected to sell between 13 to 15 million units this year @ $700 so if I did my sums right and we were to receive $9 million that works out @ 0.7% royalty per unit if they sold 14 million and with over 150 million switch 1 sold and if we are part off the new console, it could generate close to $100 million in royalties if they sell the same amount of new console

Well Mr Pom I like your thinking mate. I personally recon were in the devise 100 % and if so we should see megachip pop up in the next financials in full or partially, which I believe by law BRN must announce we're their funds come from in any quartly breakdown ?.
This place nintendo as the main contender IMO

I don’t think AKIDA is in the Nintendo Switch 2, simply because of what Sean said at the AGM.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe he said that the bookings that his bonus will be tied to this year would be US$9mil. “Bookings” meaning contract signed, and or purchase order in hand.

Then he was also asked about “royalties” this year and he replied that it was unlikely but possible. I don’t think he was being asked about royalties arising specifically from new bookings, but just royalties in general.

It was this statement about royalties being unlikely that made me think we can rule out the possibility of AKIDA being in the Switch 2.

Very confusing would someone tell WTF is going on.

But I guess you never knew Nintendo are releasing another bigger better version next year

I agree DB, Megachips has an IP agreement so even pulling the device apart will not show the gold. I believe that the watch the financials "eventually" will mean something.

And even if they can't say yes we are in nintendo the will have a please explain by the asx and then they will have to say something like the income is generated from gaming however due to NDA disclosure we are unable to supply any further references.

Then we can all say yep or nah its still not from Nintendo but that will then be irrelevant as its in the $$
Whats 152,000,000 sold Nintendos x royalty? (151,999,999 if @Pom down under didn't buy one)
I may be dreamin but I'm with you on this one.

To go with this I could swear I've seen Brainchip and NXP mentioned together somewhere.

Am I onto something linking those top 2 together to get the third one? If it hasn't been looked into yet is it worth investigating?

This is just a thought bubble but just wondering how those would work. Our contract would be with Megachips and not Nintendo. Let's say they report 6 monthly, do they compile sales data 6 monthly? If they do, then have 90 days to pay Megachips. Do Megachips then have 90 days to pay us? So any sales between July to Dec of 2025 would be compiled by end Jan 2026, pay by end of Apr to Megachips, making it payable to BRN by end of JUL 2026. On this scenario the 3 weeks of sales to end JUN this year would mean we would be paid by end of JAN 2026 which would be reported by BRN in Qtrly in APR 2026. As they say watch the financials because I don't think it will be announced. Sean said probably not any royalties this year.
This probably could be because big companies don't pay early. If Nintendo paid 3 weeks early and Megachips paid 3 weeks early, we could receive payment for those 3 weeks sales by end of DEC 2025 but doubt that would happen. This is just a scenario as I have no idea what is in the Megachips contract with BRN or with Nintemdo. There may be information in the Megachips reports to give an indication.

No idea really but I would think first payments of royalties wouldn't happen quickly but would happen on a regular basis after that.

Any thoughts welcome as could be barking up the wrong tree.

Maybe I should have put a caveat in that I have have no idea if we are in it and quite frankly I haven't seen anything to suggest we are except we have an IP deal with Megachips. It was more to do with time frames than anything else.

We have all the shares gone? Only 11 mill on buy side and 8 on sell. Maybe games are over for a little while and we might see an increase in SP in the short term.
