Comparing 2nd quarter to 3rd quarter :) Lasers shipped: up from 117 to 126 Operating Income: up 14% Backlog: down from 122.8 million to 116.3 million It seems as though the growth is continuing from quarter to quarter. EPS is lower because of cost of new testing bays (1000/year by end of 4th quarter), otherwise EPS would also have risen (EPS also impacted negatively by change in tax rate, if I understand correctly). With the exception of the reduction in backlog, I find this all to be very positive.
