KLINVESTOR Re <<The "Sales General & Adminstrative" expenses jumped very substantially. By $2.2 million and usually they do not vary much with the sales level. When the 10Q comes out hopefully we can see what caused SG&A to jump so EPS projections for the 4th quarter will be easier. The $2.2 million increase after U.S. tax is probably about $1.5 million or about 7-8 cents per share. If the SG&A increase was a one time blip with the backlog we see next quarter could be a real blow out.>>

Good points, this is when I really wish COHU had CC's. I think that would be a first step to more visibility on the street, I am not holding my breath.

Hope I didn't introduce any more errors :-(

I also hope the LA earthquake did not do any damage to COHU and other companies else we are in for another drop. I hate to see that happen.

Klinvestor,

higher SGA might be due to the introduction of their new handlers: warranties and new sales force. at 11% net margin we are off the highs of 15% net margin of the past. i wonder if every generation of new handlers will affect SGA. anyone knows if COHU test-in-trays handlers are selling well or not?

luck to all
