"After the transaction, Denselight sales are gone as well as expenses. 100%? Less? How many people will stay on POET´s payroll? Is the complete product line sold together with DL?"
Hard to know what expenses will remain. Looking at financials we see 2018 R & D costs of ~$8.7M, of which only $3.5M were in Singapore with the remainder in North America. Surprising to me the R&D costs in the US were higher than in Singapore (where I thought the bulk of the R&D was being carried out!). Seems significant work being done in the US. and begs the questions: by who and how many; what is being done; and, where is this being done (certainly not in Suresh's San Jose office)?
