ITHACA, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 10, 2022 / Odyssey Semiconductor Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:ODII), a semiconductor device company developing innovative high-voltage, vertical power switching components based on proprietary Gallium Nitride ("GaN") processing technology, today reported financial results and business highlights for its fourth quarter and full year 2021 ended December 31, 2021.

CEO Commentary

Odyssey is completing the development of its first vertical GaN product. We plan to provide the engineering samples to customers in the first quarter of 2022. We are currently optimizing the process to achieve the >1000 V breakdown voltage in our devices. We feel that the tough part of the development has been accomplished with respect to the product, and all other important parameters such as on-resistance, and leakage current have been achieved," said Rick Brown, co-founder, interim CEO, CTO, and Board member.

"Odyssey has unique GaN technology for the power switching market including high voltage motors, solar panels, and next generation of 800 volt battery packs in electric vehicles. We have interest in our technology from customers in all of those markets. We continue to add to our strong portfolio of IP," concluded Brown.

Financial Highlights

Note: All financials referenced in this release conform with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and comparisons in this release are to the same period in the prior year unless otherwise noted.

• Revenue of $748,948 in 2021, entirely foundry service revenues.
• The company has diligently managed its cash resulting in an ending cash balance of $2.6 million on December 31, 2021.
• The net cash used in operation was approximately $2.5 million in 2021, the equivalent of averaging approximately $208,000 per month during 2021.

Near-Term Milestone

• Continuing to develop high voltage power switching devices with the already demonstrated vertically conducting GaN transistor and p-n diode.
• Vertical conduction GaN is a next-generation semiconductor technology poised to challenge SiC as the next-generation high power switching transistor technology.
• Provide customers with engineering samples of the first vertical GaN product in Q1 2022: additional time has enabled a better design and an existing product with greater potential range.
• CEO Search: After pursuing one internally sourced candidate in Q4, Tim Conti from ON Partners was engaged in early January to conduct a formal search targeted to complete in the first half of 2022. The company has begun to engage good potential CEO candidates. Now that the company will have a tangible product for customers to evaluate, it is looking forward to adding new leadership to focus on engaging with customers. Once the new CEO is on board, the company plans to quickly add a few additional resources to add depth in marketing, manufacturing, and finance to enable Odyssey to scale from being R&D focused to the capabilities of an operating company.
