VISTA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 3, 2021 / OPTEC International, Inc. (OTC Ticker:OPTI) today announced the following information regarding the OTC Markets "YIELD" sign status.

The company recently filed their 10K Annual Report within the specified timeline along with all relevant support documents for the period ending June 30, 2021, to remain in "Pink Current" status on OTC Markets.

On Monday Nov 1^st, OTC Markets lowered the status to "Yield" stating the report should have been filed as a quarterly report and not an annual or semi-annual. The confusion occurred when the OTC Markets upload options for that period were for a semi-annual report and not an annual report, in which the filing format was correctly prepared as an annual report for Period ending 6-30-2021.

Earlier in the year the company officially changed the fiscal year end period from June to December effective December 31^st, 2021, which according to SEC guidelines mandate the company to file the pre-December annual report for 6-30-201(the previous fiscal year end) and then the new annual for period ending 12-31-2021 due March 2022.

On Monday Nov 1^st, the company contacted OTC Markets to enquire as to what was required to clarify the filing requirements and assist on OTC IQ (Upload Portal) the company was advised the matter was under review and they would advise on Nov 2^nd. The company has left a number of messages and emails asking for immediate assistance to clarify the situation and to date has received no further communication from OTC Markets.

The company is further unclear as to why OPTEC is tagged "Dark or Defunct" on the OTC website, as all filings and disclosures are available on the OTC website.

The company will announce an update upon notification from OTC Markets.
