I need help. According to this 7/29/99 10-K, ORTL has an 18% position in Tellium:
<<< During fiscal 1999 the Company increased its investment in Tellium, Inc. by $1.5 million to a total of $6.7 million. This investment is accounted for by the cost method and, accordingly, there is no recognition of the losses to date incurred by Tellium in the Company's financial results. As of April 30, 1999 the Company owns approximately 18% of the equity of Tellium with a portion in excess of 2% held in the form of non-voting preferred stock. Therefore, the Company believes the accounting of the investment meets the criteria required under the cost method.>>>>
And according to this 9/15/99 10-Q, they increased their position by an additional $960,000.
<<<< Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.8 million from $13.1 million at April 30, 1999, to $10.3 million at August 1, 1999.
