- POET Technologies Inc. closed an oversubscribed equity financing of $7.2 million in February 2013. This gives the company enough cash to continue to achieve technology milestones, as well as execute an aggressive public relations campaign in the months ahead.

- Over the past year, POET Technologies Inc. has strengthened its board of directors and has added technical expertise to the management team in order to maximize the value achieved by the monetization process.

- As part of a restructuring effort initiated in the summer of 2012, the company recently divested its solar business. The solar business had become unprofitable due to unfavourable solar industry conditions. The company’s resources are now completely focused toward developing and monetizing POET.

- An optoelectronic device using POET technology can potentially achieve estimated cost savings back to the manufacturer of 80% compared to the compound silicon devices that are widely used today. These cost savings alone could represent billions of dollars of market value to a company who acquires and implements the technology.

- POET Technologies Inc. announced in December 2012 the successful completion of its most important technological milestone to date: "Continuous Wave Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser Demonstration”. This milestone was a significant achievement in that all components are in place for on-chip integration of photonic circuits in the same semiconductor framework as electronic circuits. This is a key milestone in the acceleration of POET for commercial application.

- In March of 2013, POET Technologies announced radio frequency and microwave test results for complementary transistors fabricated using the POET process at BAE Systems’ lab in Nashua, New Hampshire. This milestone is the latest update on the POET development work being done in partnership with BAE Systems Electronic Solutions. BAE entered into a contract with ODIS Inc. (a U.S.subsidiary) in 2008 with the intent of replicating specific POET devices in a third-party environment at BAE Systems Reed Microelectronics Center. The validation work being done by BAE is a strong endorsement of the viability of POET as a commercially scalable technology.

- On June 27, 2013 another Milestone was reached, ahead of schedule!

- The Company is seeking to monetize the revolutionary POET platform. (In Part 3 of the POET Presentation they expect to see around a Billion $$ and this would equate to +- $6.6/share)
