... hier ein Play-by-Play, wie Matthew Winthrop von Aegis CEO Rizzone gestern Abend am Ende des CC in die Mangel nahm:
Operator
[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from Matthew Winthrop with Aegis. Please go ahead.
Matthew Winthrop
How are you?
Steve Rizzone
Good.
Matthew Winthrop
Im curious on the hearing-aid business because my father was an audiologist and he tells me that you need to keep your hearing aid next to you in a very closed environment that doesn't get any dust or particles. So, I don't understand why you would need a wireless charge system when you have two plug it in right next to your bed? Im confused.
Steve Rizzone
Well, perhaps I can help you. Since your father has had experience with the hearing-aid, I am sure youve also seen him go through the process of changing these batteries. He has probably dropped one on the floor on more than one occasion.
Matthew Winthrop
No, no. I understand, but they have chargeable systems now. You can buy them everywhere. So, I don't understand, you came out here, got everyone into this, and told us we were going to charge cell phones and Teslas, and now you're telling we're going to do hearing-aids, sorry I know you are the CEO, but you got the whole world watching. You did a couple of hundred thousand of revenue, you have been putting this off quarter-after-quarter, how can you look at people in the eye and say, we're going to be huge, youre not. You are just coming up and dancing with new products. Show me something, one company, one contract, something I can hang my hat on. I just don't understand what youre doing.
Steve Rizzone
Well, I respect your comments, but youre wrong. And I think that the way youre approaching this is incorrect also. I think you need to keep in mind the scope of what were looking to do. We are actively
Matthew Winthrop
You have no revenues and its been quarter-after-quarter and you're not doing any business, so why dont you just come out and say its not working?
Steve Rizzone
Because thats not the true statement. The fact is that it is working. And look, let me just try and nip this in the bud because there's no arguing this, weve made it very clear the status of the company, weve made it very clear how were progressing, and there is one undeniable fact, one undeniable fact that I respond to when I use, when I get asked all of these questions from all of these non-believers. Lets be real about our key strategic partner Dialog. We can talk about Dialog. Dialog is a $1 billion semiconductor company.
Weve made it very clear and we can't lie about this. We have to sign off on this every quarter. We can't lie about this. Weve made it very, very clear that Dialog has brought us into their key customers. Their top customers, and they are supporting us in every way. They have supported us in terms of our chips, and our sales organization. And a company like Dialog would no way do these things if what we were doing was not real. If we were not in fact adding value and if we were not on, in fact on a path to significant revenues.
Now, I understand your point right now and Ive been very candid that its taken us longer than we have anticipated in terms of accomplishing this, but youre wrong to say that its not happening, youre wrong to say that the technology is(n't) real, and you're wrong to say that weve been misstating or misleading. We have not. This company is coming together, its rolling. The launch of Wireless Charging 2.0 is real, its happening and there is nothing thats going to stop it. |
