Unfortunately equipment delays are very common - especially when you are talking about specialized equipment.

Suppliers often promise the moon when negotiating an order and no doubt POET pushed for a very tight / challenging delivery lead-time.

Unfortunate but ultimately not a major issue!

Remember that in the Corp. Presentation it states on the last page that POET has recently started making test chips to show POET capabilities to "interested parties" ..... so this equipment delay has not had a major impact ...... the show must go on !!!!!
