I just reviewed my previous statement. This thought just smacked me in the face. I don't want to start the rumour mill up with "maybe we're ahead of where we actually are." Take this with a grain of salt. What if POET did complete the chip they were working on and this is it? Is this why we have a VP from Applied Materials join our team who's first statement was Dr. Deshmukh commented: “I see tremendous potential with POET Technology’s innovative approach to combining Si based IC’s with III-V materials based optical components on the same chip that could revolutionize the mobility, telecommunications/networking, large data management, and other technology sectors. I am very excited to be part of the team to drive this innovation into the market”. Applied materials has massive dealings with Apple. March 30th NR, Formation of Technology Roadmap Advisory Board The Company announces the formation of a “Technology Roadmap Advisory Board” comprising of Dr. Geoff Taylor, Ajit Manocha, and Tony Blevins.

Formation of Technology Roadmap Advisory Board Then only 4 weeks later... Toronto, ON, and Storrs, CT, April 27, 2015 – POET Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: PTK and OTCQX: POETF) – developer of the planar opto-electronic technology (“POET”) platform for monolithic fabrication of integrated circuit devices containing both electronic and optical elements on a single semiconductor wafer – is extremely pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Subhash Deshmukh as COO of the Company. Dr. Deshmukh will commence his new position on June 8, 2015 to give him time to fulfill his duties with his current employer. From February 16, POET has transferred its proprietary technology to multiple foundry partners.- is TSM, AVGO the foundries? For this new hybrid chip? If we step back and look at the timelines of when we were expecting an announcment in regards to our PET prototype, fall 2016 would be ample time to test, mass produce , and put this chip into the new line of I7's. I mean is this possible and everyone missed it? Sorry about the formating.
