"As for the value of the division.ALA shareholders still own 80% of the optronics division." ML- Thanks. Okay let's say that you are correct(which I'm guessing is correct too). Then you would think the shares of the majority owner of ALAO would pop to reflect the increased valuation shown ALAO. IMO this has not happened because no one understands it. Very poor(like the old Alcatel) IR job to explain the value of a spinout to the shareholders of the parent. -MikeM(From Florida)
