<< Quick questions on all the stock symbols. The way I understand it... One share of LPTHU = 1 share LPTHA + 1 share LPTHW + 1 share LPTHZ >>

That is what I had understood as well.

<< If someone buys "U" shares, can they break them up and sell them individually or must they be sold as a unit? >>

I think they are all seperately transferrable.

<< What was the purpose of creating the common, two warrants and the
combined unit stock? >>

I am probably not the best person to answer this but I think that the combining of warrants and class A common into a unit made the IPO more attractive. Also, the underwriter will say that this sets in place automatic financing for the future. If all of the warrants are exercised the company will receive over $60 million, eliminating the need for a secondary.

<< I gather you're into the common only. What kind of investment strategy do the warrants and unit play? >>

At the time I was interested in making an investment in Lightpath I was most comfortable buying the class A. I have not ruled out the units/warrants however.
