This is very interesting, fairchij. It is information that POET used to share openly before they became a publicly traded company incorporated in Canada.
Remember this?

When I skimmed the document earlier I wondered why it was so familiar. The above link is an archived copy of OPEL's website from 2006.
It's nice to see the details re-emerging for POET's 'year of recognition'
I hope some of this content can eventually make it's way onto the POET website!
