Voici 2 questions que j’ai posées au management :

  1. J’ai vu que Lulzbot a une sortie une nouvelle tête d’imprimante qui imprime beaucoup plus vite (lien youtube), Est-ce une mise à niveau que vous prévoyez ou pourriez faire sur la DittoPro?

The new tool head in the link trades off layer resolution for time. The DittoPro can get this upgrade quite quickly by simply switching out one of the components. The idea that printing in lower resolution to reduce the amount of time it takes to print an object has been discussed here internally for some time. We've facilitated some of it by the adjustable resolution (to 0.3mm) inside Tinkerine Suite however a hardware change would also change the machines preset settings significantly. Something we are striking a balance between ease of use and versatility.

  1. J’ai demandé si les commandes de 10-15 imprimantes étaient des commandes habituelles

What we typically see with education is they purchase continuously from year to year. A typical district purchase can range from 10-40 units, and individual schools range from 1-4 in increments and it could be 1 at a time.

De gros bids sont apparus depuis hier soir sur le niveau 2. Est-ce que des institutions essaient de faire leur entrée dans le titre ?

#25

L’évaluation est encore trop basse selon moi pour que ce soit des institutions, mais il y a certainement des investisseurs qui accumulent présentement et/ou veulent provoquer une hausse du titre. Je vois souvent des bids comme ça disparaître quand ils commencent à se faire frapper. J’essaie de ne pas y porter trop attention.

Selon moi, le titre va bouger lorsqu’ils vont pré-annoncer leurs revenus du Q4 ou lorsque les états financiers annuels seront disponibles. Une grosse commande surprise pourrait aider aussi.

#26

Je suis du même avis que toi, surtout que ce n’est pas le genre de société à émettre des PR à chaque grosse commande ou etc. Certains investisseurs peuvent voir ça comme négatif mais avec l’historique de la société, ça ne veut absolument rien dire.

Interview avec le management qui date de 2014 mais qui met bien en perspective la vision que l’entreprise avait déjà à ce moment là :

#31

J’ai demandé c’est pour quand les résultats financiers de fin d’année. Voici la réponse:

#32

Effectivement leur date limite est à la fin avril (je crois que c’est même le 1er mai 2017 cette année). Toutefois, il n’est pas rare que les sociétés annoncent des chiffres approximatifs avant la date limite. Voici un lien qui donne les date limite pour la production :

#33

Près du sommet de l`année aujourd’hui. Y a t’il quelqu’un qui a vu une nouvelle?

#34

Je n’ai vu aucune nouvelle. Probablement des achats en prévision des résultats du Q4 qui devraient sortir bientôt.

#35

The desktop 3D printing business is growing in several segments at once, and we consciously chose to focus on the professional and education segments where we provide the best value proposition. We worked hard to further define our current strategy of developing 3D printing solutions that address the needs of professionals and educators.

Intéressant de voir Makerbot refocuser leurs activités (et voir une opportunité) dans le secteur de l’éducation. Tinkerine focus sur l’éducation depuis le jour 1.

Tinkerine Contract Dispute and Reversal of Sales

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Tinkerine Studios Ltd. (“Tinkerine” or the “Company”) (TSXV:TTD) (FSE:WB6B) (OTC:TKSTF) announces that the Company encountered a contract dispute over payment terms for a sale booked during the third quarter 2016. This dispute occurred after the distributor had signed a distributor agreement and had accepted delivery of products to their warehouse.

The sales return is in the amount of $541,098, and the Company has terminated the distributer agreement with the third party.

President and Chief Executive Officer Eugene Suyu states: “We are extremely disappointed with the dispute over the sale during the third quarter, and determined that instead of pursuing legal action, we would take back the product and focus on delivery and sales to new and existing customers moving forward. We continue to focus on development and implementation of Tinkerine U, and penetration into Canada and the United States market.”

J’ai discuté avec le management, voici ce qu’il avait à me dire concernant la dispute :

The dispute revolves around the other party believing that the inventory was on consignment, due to certain conversations between their sales personal and ours. Our sales person leading this transaction has since been removed from the company because of the severity of the issue. Prior to us shipping this large order to the distributor, they had proven to us their ability to pay in a previous order and has paid in a timely manner with cash and carry. Because this order was larger in size we had originally negotiated a NET30 term, in which we later extended to NET60 to give them more flexibility. It isn’t until we started collecting for the amount that we found out about the conversation between the sales persons.

I’ve been leading the discussions with them since December to figure out how we can move the parties forward. However, they responded that they wanted to hold this inventory and had changed their story to holding this inventory on consignment from the beginning of the transaction. We then decided that it was best for us to have the inventory on hand allowing us to move faster and not need additional capital injection to build units knowing at any point they could send these units back if they felt it was consignment basis.

Lorsque je lui ai demandé si cet événement pouvait avoir un impact sur le long terme, il a répondu :

This is most definitely a big setback and an oversight by the team and I take full responsibility for not asking tougher questions before and during the transaction. In the long term for the company, I believe this is one of the growing pains that the company will face. However, it has made us aware of the necessity to ask tough questions and implement processes that prevent this from happening in the future. Would it have impact? in the short term I believe so,and I would be foolish to say it wouldn’t. But as we move this company forward with the execution and strategies that we have I feel that this would be one of the key moments in our companies history that helped us steer it in the right direction to build better infrastructure in the wake of the event.

Je crois que c’est une très mauvaise nouvelle. Cependant, la base reste la même et je crois qu’ils continuent à exécuter le plan qu’ils ont depuis 2 ans.

@simonfisc J’suis pas sûr de comprendre parfaitement ce qui s’est passé entre Tinkerine et le distributeur en question :confused:
