If I could refocus the discussion, I believe the topic is "what can MRV do to increase shareholder value?" I have been doing some reading on 'goodwill'- the difference between the purchase price of Xyplex and the Book Value. Goodwill is written off over a 40 year amortization, no? Now, having just taken a very large write-off for restructuring- that's applied to this year's taxes, right? Now, remember a few months ago when it was announced that European tarifs on computer gear were incorrectly applied to networking equipment, and the networking companies could be getting a big refund? Can someone estimate what this might be for MRVC? I thought it could be quite large. (Help?) My supposition is that this is a great year to take a large write-off based on an anticipated windfall. Please- what does anyone think? I'm way out on a limb here. My only other new ideas to increase shareholder value are: a) Send obsolete Xyplex gear to interested shareholders! I'd love to play with the stuff. b) Bumper stickers- 'Honk if you own MRVC' Richard
