They would have lost money in 2015 as well but they recorded a one-time sale of their intellectual property. I suspect this was related to the spin-off of the MQA assets into a separate company. Which file is the financial statement here? All the annual returns I liked at were missing statements. Link to comment

I see no question in the post that comment appeared in, merely one or two statements akin to 'consultants are parasites'. I also see no 'need to attack him personally' but I feel its important to highlight the inconsistency in his behaviour evident here - that Lee has time and energy for what seem to me to be irrelevancies and yet no time and no energy for the relevant questions.

rickca Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Why doesn't MQA just do some celebrity endorsements? Just get Jay-Z to tell the kids who own all those smartphones you can't be cool unless you listen to MQA. I'm sure it's coming. I think MQA made a strategic error in marketing to audiophiles. Just detour around the audiophiles and go for mass market acceptance.

Thuaveta Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 49 minutes ago, Lee Scoggins said: My sources tell me Meridian is actually tremendously profitable firm and has made a boatload on licensing deals. Please kindly note my use of "creative, Richemont accounting". As far as 2015 is concerned, and public filings, your sources would appear to be correct, and it would appear that Meridian did indeed make a boatload by selling MQA to Reinet Investments SARL, a Luxembourg-registered subsidiary of Richemont. Them losing money also doesn't mean they're losing money for everyone, of course... it's not like they aren't repaying their loans, or interest on their loans, now is it...

Just detour around the audiophiles and go for mass market acceptance. They don't need em. They have the record labels, that's the motherload. The genius behind it was to get the software and hardware manufacturers to pay licensing fees also. Anti-MQA members can get so called shills banned from this site/thread, either by there own doing or by being pressured by others, this still won't stop MQA's momentum. Maybe some think these are small wins.
