Scary, that's a very interesting point! Thanks for bringing it up! I wasn't aware of Atomic (or anybody else) doing PR for POET – a fact that might speak for itself (but not for me).

Browsing through POET Technologies' new releases, I found this one of 2013-02-25 announcing Atomic as PR partner and looking forward to "building relationships with analysts and the appropriate business and technology media". That's funny, because I never noticed any PR activities, except for a few articles. Well, maybe that's all the outcome.

Does anyone know whether Atomic still works for POET? There is no termination announcement on the PTI website, but that hasn't have to mean anything.

Browsing the financial statements briefly, expediture isn't mentioned explicitly neither for public relations nor for investor relations. Could still be hidden in one of these:

• Professional fees: $146,057
• Management and consulting fees: $65,084
• General expenses: $187,116

Can anyone shed some light? Thanks!
