They don't seem to careJust imagine what S/P loss values that Peter and the other Top 20 s/holders would be experiencing ......?????
I seem to remember someone (LdN?) saying they had more than a dozen EAP's, yet there is only a few mentioned here. My guess would be that those listed have consented to being "outed" while the rest wish to remain in the shadows for the time being..........I don’t think you have missed something but if FF is 100% correct (as previously mentioned a while back) Ford is a EAP so if they have left the EAP then it was my understanding from a previous FF post that it should be announced on ASX.
Maybe BRN presentation accidentally left off Ford.![]()
Yeah I've had similar thoughts Tech. Otherwise, why the delay on releasing Gen2. The tech exists and has been proven (Nandan is presenting on it in Seoul in Nov). Why wait until the very end of the quarter before announcing it.
Hi All
There has been some doubt cast over the question of whether Ford is still engaged with Brainchip. There has also been doubt cast over whether a company that makes an announcement via the ASX which is classified as price sensitive requires a further ASX price sensitive announcement if there is a material change to the circumstances set out in the original announcement.
Dealing with the second of these two points I would simply say go and take independent legal advice if you cannot read the legislation yourself and understand what it requires of a company. This proposition is so trite and normally so well understood that perhaps even a Google search will give you the answer. Perhaps you could even ask the ASX if this is the law they may respond to you.
For newer holders in 2020 Brainchip in ASX price sensitive announcement announced an EAP engagement with a major automotive manufacturer. This announcement did not include the automotive manufacturers name.
Shortly after this announcement the ASX sent a please explain letter to Brainchip requiring additional details of the agreement and the name of the automotive manufacturer. Brainchip made another announcement on the ASX wherein it answered this letter and disclosed that the major automotive manufacturer was FORD.
Since that time Brainchip has not spoken further about FORD.
Does the failure to speak about FORD again mean that FORD walked away immediately after the second announcement by Brainchip? Well if you want to go back and read all the posts here and at HC you will find that another poster claimed some long time ago that he communicated with Tony Dawe and Tony Dawe stated to him that if the previously published relationship with FORD changed then Brainchip would be required to make an announcement. I have not gone searching for this communication but the poster if they still read these threads might step forward.
However what I will do is bring forward my earlier post and point you to the first named company on the list confirmed by Tony Dawe only a few months ago. Now if you believe Brainchip is a complete fraud and lies constantly this will not assist you but if you are a real share holder and hold this view you are well advised to make a copy of the following to put in your evidence folder for when the fraud you believe Brainchip to be is made known you can use it as part of your class action case against the company and its Directors and employees.
One thing it is true that Fact Finder made a prediction of $2.75 at the beginning of a year before the war in Ukraine broke out and Covid 19 sent the World to hell in a handbasket. It is also true that Fact Finder after making this prediction when others were saying $10 and $20 over the same time frame was criticised for being so conservative in only predicting $2.75. It is also true that after the extent of what the Ukraine Russia war and Covid 19 meant for the World Fact Finder was offered a chance to change his prediction at a time when a competition to see who could predict the year end price was in full swing and Fact Finder declined noting that since the prediction the war and Covid 19 had changed things considerably. I note that Fact Finder has been attacked on HC by such luminaries as the Dope, Sharemonger and Doltie over his prediction. So be it.
If you are so trusting as to read one 12 month out prediction and then see the World being pushed to the bring of war and a pandemic occurring and boarders closed and international flights halted and not have the presence of mind to seek further advice and do your own research then I apologise if my prediction has caused you pain.
I would say this however to take Fact Finder's prediction as gospel you must have read all of his other posts and if you did and built up such a deep respect for his opinion you would also have read that he said time and time again do not believe anything he or anyone else said on an anonymous forum until you have done your own research. Do not accept his or anyone else's interpretation of what has been written or spoken until you have read or listened yourself as you may not agree. In the face of all that if I were Fact Finder I would not actually apologise if you based your investment decision on this prediction.
Now to assist the poster who wondered why Sean Hehir did not mention India despite the huge importance of Brainchip's engagement with TATA a company which Fact Finder has been calling as a partner since the day after 14 December, 2019. The reason is that Sean Hehir was talking about his achievements in expanding Brainchip outside of the USA. The Brainchip software design centre in India was the work of the former CEO Mr. Dinardo as was the initial engagement with TATA Consulting Services the research arm of TATA Group.
The recent announcement of the product relationship with TATA Elxsi has grown out of this initial engagement. While Fact Finder does not need to point it out the TATA relationship has been brewing since 2019 and the TATA Consulting Services research into the technology has proven out AKIDA in multiple peer reviewed papers and led to TATA Elxsi joining with Brainchip to deliver product to market and to a representative of TATA Elxsi of some seniority calling out Nvidia Jetson on social media as being an over priced non competitor to Brainchip's AKIDA technology.
Dot joining is all well and good but in Fact Finder's opinion their are so many known facts to occupy ones attention dots are not really necessary anymore.
I will now leave it here. As I say point 1. might help some:
"I have over many weeks been engaged in the process of putting together a list of Brainchip engagements based upon my own criteria that the company concerned has:
Why did I adopt this approach? For one very simple reason. I did not want a situation where my list contained a company which might be the subject of absolute secrecy. To maintain this secrecy Brainchip’s likely response would have been to ignore my request completely.

There's people out there that believe the company shouldn't be wasting time developing new generations and that the company should be putting everything behind selling what we already have. One particular person likened it to irresponsible Gov spendingI take this as a positive. Instead of bogging down on Gen2 and waiting for mass adoption and revenue the BRN team is forging ahead. For me it's a show of confidence that things are on track and eventually the market will wake up.
I was going to say the same thing. But thought there is no point some here will bash you for it. We have invested our hard earned money and savings. Hoping to get returns from it not loosing lot of most of it.Yes true, but don't forget that the management didn't have to pay for these shares. We on the other hand have forked out considerably and most shareholders are in the deep red at this point in time including myself.

Yeah even South Korea, Lou said about 5 years ago, words to the effect “we’re getting a lot of interest from a company in South Korea - they have been testing Akida even more extensively than we have!”Hi Fran,
Think we are mostly on the same page but think long term investors and Lou DiNardo would disagree with last sentence. Korea would maybe be the only new player for me. All the rest were done on LDN's watch.
I personally believe that company is SK or in the SK group.Yeah even South Korea, Lou said about 5 years ago, words to the effect “we’re getting a lot of interest from a company in South Korea - they have been testing Akida even more extensively than we have!”
Into Fact Finder’s comments I think I read a bat’s squeak of criticism at the investor report being limited to Sean’s deeds, and not presenting a broader and better picture, particularly in relation to Di Nadio’s initiatives in India. A fair and worrying observation.Hi All
There has been some doubt cast over the question of whether Ford is still engaged with Brainchip. There has also been doubt cast over whether a company that makes an announcement via the ASX which is classified as price sensitive requires a further ASX price sensitive announcement if there is a material change to the circumstances set out in the original announcement.
Dealing with the second of these two points I would simply say go and take independent legal advice if you cannot read the legislation yourself and understand what it requires of a company. This proposition is so trite and normally so well understood that perhaps even a Google search will give you the answer. Perhaps you could even ask the ASX if this is the law they may respond to you.
For newer holders in 2020 Brainchip in ASX price sensitive announcement announced an EAP engagement with a major automotive manufacturer. This announcement did not include the automotive manufacturers name.
Shortly after this announcement the ASX sent a please explain letter to Brainchip requiring additional details of the agreement and the name of the automotive manufacturer. Brainchip made another announcement on the ASX wherein it answered this letter and disclosed that the major automotive manufacturer was FORD.
Since that time Brainchip has not spoken further about FORD.
Does the failure to speak about FORD again mean that FORD walked away immediately after the second announcement by Brainchip? Well if you want to go back and read all the posts here and at HC you will find that another poster claimed some long time ago that he communicated with Tony Dawe and Tony Dawe stated to him that if the previously published relationship with FORD changed then Brainchip would be required to make an announcement. I have not gone searching for this communication but the poster if they still read these threads might step forward.
However what I will do is bring forward my earlier post and point you to the first named company on the list confirmed by Tony Dawe only a few months ago. Now if you believe Brainchip is a complete fraud and lies constantly this will not assist you but if you are a real share holder and hold this view you are well advised to make a copy of the following to put in your evidence folder for when the fraud you believe Brainchip to be is made known you can use it as part of your class action case against the company and its Directors and employees.
One thing it is true that Fact Finder made a prediction of $2.75 at the beginning of a year before the war in Ukraine broke out and Covid 19 sent the World to hell in a handbasket. It is also true that Fact Finder after making this prediction when others were saying $10 and $20 over the same time frame was criticised for being so conservative in only predicting $2.75. It is also true that after the extent of what the Ukraine Russia war and Covid 19 meant for the World Fact Finder was offered a chance to change his prediction at a time when a competition to see who could predict the year end price was in full swing and Fact Finder declined noting that since the prediction the war and Covid 19 had changed things considerably. I note that Fact Finder has been attacked on HC by such luminaries as the Dope, Sharemonger and Doltie over his prediction. So be it.
If you are so trusting as to read one 12 month out prediction and then see the World being pushed to the bring of war and a pandemic occurring and boarders closed and international flights halted and not have the presence of mind to seek further advice and do your own research then I apologise if my prediction has caused you pain.
I would say this however to take Fact Finder's prediction as gospel you must have read all of his other posts and if you did and built up such a deep respect for his opinion you would also have read that he said time and time again do not believe anything he or anyone else said on an anonymous forum until you have done your own research. Do not accept his or anyone else's interpretation of what has been written or spoken until you have read or listened yourself as you may not agree. In the face of all that if I were Fact Finder I would not actually apologise if you based your investment decision on this prediction.
Now to assist the poster who wondered why Sean Hehir did not mention India despite the huge importance of Brainchip's engagement with TATA a company which Fact Finder has been calling as a partner since the day after 14 December, 2019. The reason is that Sean Hehir was talking about his achievements in expanding Brainchip outside of the USA. The Brainchip software design centre in India was the work of the former CEO Mr. Dinardo as was the initial engagement with TATA Consulting Services the research arm of TATA Group.
The recent announcement of the product relationship with TATA Elxsi has grown out of this initial engagement. While Fact Finder does not need to point it out the TATA relationship has been brewing since 2019 and the TATA Consulting Services research into the technology has proven out AKIDA in multiple peer reviewed papers and led to TATA Elxsi joining with Brainchip to deliver product to market and to a representative of TATA Elxsi of some seniority calling out Nvidia Jetson on social media as being an over priced non competitor to Brainchip's AKIDA technology.
Dot joining is all well and good but in Fact Finder's opinion there are so many known facts to occupy ones attention dots are not really necessary anymore.
I will now leave it here. As I say point 1. might help some:
"I have over many weeks been engaged in the process of putting together a list of Brainchip engagements based upon my own criteria that the company concerned has:
Why did I adopt this approach? For one very simple reason. I did not want a situation where my list contained a company which might be the subject of absolute secrecy. To maintain this secrecy Brainchip’s likely response would have been to ignore my request completely.
- been announced on the ASX by Brainchip, and/or
- been announced by use of a Press Release from Brainchip, and/or
- been acknowledged by an employee or Board member of Brainchip orally in a presentation that forms some type of permanent public record and/or
- been acknowledged by the company concerned in again some type of permanent public record and this has been adopted by Brainchip in a written communication or other permanent public record, and/or
- been formerly included on the Brainchip website
So reproduced below is my request and the two replies I received from Mr. Tony Dawe Director Global Investor Relations at Brainchip.
The request (27.6.23):
Dear Mr. Dawe
The following is a list of entities which Brainchip has by various means communicated they have had some form of engagement.

The first response (3.7.23):
Hi ……,
Thank you for your email.
I have referred your email to my colleagues in the US to ensure when I responded to you I did so with accurate information.
I have not yet received a reply from Ken Scarince as he was away on his annual vacation last week.
When I have his reply, I will respond directly to your email.
Regards
Tony Dawe
Director, Global Investor Relations
+61 (0)405 989 743
The final response received (18.7.23):
“Hi …..,
To the best of my knowledge, BrainChip continues to have relationships with all the companies mentioned on your list.
As I have previously stated, BrainChip does not comment on the nature of these relationships nor do we provide status reports.
Regards
Tony Dawe Director, Global Investor Relations
+61 (0)405 989 743”
As my request predated the reveal of IniVation as a partner by Nadan Nayampally Chief Marketing Officer and the latest press release regarding GMAC Intelligence it already is out of date such is the speed of progress being made by Brainchip. I do however believe that the very recent nature of the announcements should not require any further confirmation and I would therefore confidently add:
40. IniVation
41. GMAC Intelligence
The bottom line for any genuine shareholder in Brainchip is that speculation as to which companies Brainchip is engaged with should not include these 41. named entities as they are not in doubt.
Kind regards

I personally don't believe anything until more of the 41+ 'associations' actually start paying us for use of our IP. Until then you can rabbit on all you like about what the company has said (which actually is quite little) but it means nothing in reality. The very same list could be posted here in 5 years time and we may still have zero additional revenue from any of them - that's a fact, although BRN may no longer exist if that were the case. If we don't see confirmed IP licencees and/or a steadily increasing revenue, starting with the next 4C, then serious doubt has to be cast over the commercial viability of AKIDA. This is my opinion on the back of a SP that has steadily declined from $2.34 down to 27.5c despite 41+ 'confirmed' engagements and a product that is so revolutionary that some are calling science fiction. Perhaps 'fiction' is the operative word here. I was blasted a while back for stating that our sales team were underperforming. Well it appears as though out most senior sales executive is moving on to greener pastures after no doubt making more money out of BRN than most shareholders have at this point....great, good luck mate and thanks for nothing.I personally believe that company is SK or in the SK group.
