Looks like an interesting related play to the Avici IPO on Wednesday. Anyone know where LSI earnings are? From S1 filing for Avici: We outsource our manufacturing operations to contract manufacturers that assemble and test our products in accordance with our specifications. Accordingly, a significant portion of our cost of revenues involves payment to these entities. Our cost of revenues also includes payments to LSI Logic, which develops several of our proprietary ASICs. These proprietary ASICs are very complex and LSI Logic is currently our sole source supplier for them. Our cost of revenues also includes overhead costs associated with our manufacturing, mainly material procurement. Warranty costs and inventory provisions will be expensed as cost of revenues.
