ITEM 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW Rubicon currently consists of two subsidiaries, Rubicon Worldwide LLC, doing business as Rubicon Technology Worldwide LLC (“RTW”) and Rubicon Technology BP LLC (“BP”). In June 2021 the operations of Rubicon DTP LLC, doing business as Direct Dose Rx (“Direct Dose”) were discontinued. RTW is an advanced materials provider specializing in monocrystalline sapphire for applications in optical and industrial systems. Sapphire is a desirable material for high-performance applications due to its hardness and strength, transparency in the visible and infrared spectrum, thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, abrasion resistance, high melting point and chemical inertness. As a result, it is ideally suited for extreme environments in a range of industries where material durability is just as important as optical clarity. We believe that we continue to have a reputation as one of the highest quality sapphire sources in the market.
