Zecotek Clarifies Previously Announced Transaction
Singapore, September 26, 2014 - Zecotek Photonics Inc. (TSX-V: ZMS; Frankfurt: W1I.F), as a result of a continuous disclosure review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company is issuing the following news release to clarify its disclosure relating to the previously announced sale of US$ 2 million of patented LFS scintillation crystals to Hamamatsu Photonics.
Further to the disclosure included in the quarterly management discussion and analysis regarding the previously announced sale of US$ 2 million of patented LFS scintillation crystals to Hamamatsu Photonics, the Company is providing an explanation for the delay in completing the full order.
Hamamatsu made the original order after reaching out to major end users of scintillation crystals, with whom it has had long term supply relationships for its detectors and other imaging components. The main users of scintillation crystals are PET scanning device original equipment manufacturers (OEM), and high energy physics centres such as CERN. Due to engineering design upgrades and internal integration processes at the OEMs the orders for the scintillation crystals have been delayed.
Zecotek and Hamamatsu are working closely with the OEMs, and their scientific teams to expedite the integration process. Zecotek has started delivering preliminary amounts of scintillation crystals to Hamamatsu which are being used in various end user`s new designs.
