The clear indication in the annoucemnet, see below, that we are currently working with a PDA, who its stated are sharing the excitement, as well as the new April date for MS 8 confirms what I suspected that the PDA who set the target of 100nm has IMO allowed the POET team accesss to its sharper tool set to achieve the MS8 earlier than couldave been achieved in POET's labs given its dated equipment. We must be very near an agreement with a PDA

The Company is reporting that, with the help of select potential POET Development Alliance (PDA) partners, progress on this milestone is ahead of the schedule set by the former Special Strategic Committee. Copetti noted, "It is gratifying to see our excitement shared by others, and we hope that excitement will be infectious as we head into the Global Semiconductor Forum

In effect this is rather like last weeks annoucement of MS5 where we ere given a clear indicagton that a BAE agreement is in sight. It would appear an agreement with 'an excited' potential PDA is also in sight.

I suspect that reality of the difficulties of aciheving MS8 has rather tempered perhaps the desire of the team to have rolled out the 100 nm news before the GSF. Hence the April date ,but my fingers are crossed, you never know with two teams (POE Tand PDA) busting a gut working on this.

Yes, this is getting sreally excitn, so much so that I note that my elder brother has joined the board, normally a very conservative chap. Things must be hotting up.

Welcome to the board DNWL!
