Food for thought on the Epitaxx deal...

"A majority of Epitaxx's shares are held by a subsidiary of Nippon Sheet Glass Co. Ltd"

Subject to confirmation...I believe Furakawa has an interest in Nippon Sheet Glass. Remember Furakawa had the smarts to believe in JDS Fitel . . . "in the beginning"

Regards
Glenn

>Epitaxx, based in Trenton, New Jersey, is majority-owned by a unit of Nippon Sheet Glass Co. The Japanese glassmaker planned as recently as last year to spin off the company in an initial public offering.<

while it's obviously a wee bit dated, Epitaxx's 1998 financials are available via their previously filed S-1 (see table and link below).

as of 13 may 98, according to the red herring, NSG had a 99.51% 'pre-IPO' stake in what would have been EPXX. for what it's worth, the offering was originally 2.15M shares at ~$10.

in addition, if you're interested, you can take a peek at Epitaxx's slick product flyer, complete with wiring diagrams and more optoelectronic specs than i could ever hope to comprehend:
