SQI has continued its positive momentum over the last year, signing five service agreements with drug development companies. The company also broadened its commercial focus in 2014 with a deal to automate DNA-based pathogen detection assays, a new application for its technology. We now look towards the conversion of customers from early contract work/validation to full commercialisation. Despite the encouraging deal progress, we reduce our valuation to C$55m vs C$60m previously (C$0.98 per share vs C$1.07), mainly due to the more protracted time frame for the phasing of contracts to reach significant revenue recognition.

SQI Diagnostics is a Canadian diagnostics company. It develops and sells multiplexed research diagnostics to pharmaceutical companies to support clinical research, and in vitro diagnostics tests to centralised diagnostics labs for diagnosing autoimmune diseases.
