Good morning, and thank you for joining us today. IPG turned in an excellent performance in the third quarter. Revenue grew by 74% year-over-year and 18.7% sequentially, and earnings per share grew by $0.28 cents from $0.05 cents a year-ago. We also demonstrated the strength of our business model, achieving gross margins of 50%, up from 36.5% a year-ago and 45.3% in Q2. The demand for our pulsed and high-power lasers, which increased 87.7% and 83.3%, respectively year-over-year, was the chief growth driver for the quarter. We are continuing to see strong demand for high-power lasers for materials processing applications, which were up to 93.1% over the prior year. The results of last quarter reflect the growing market acceptance of high power fiber lasers for cutting, which is the largest application for high power lasers, and welding also. This is indicated in part by the number of fiber laser cutters and welders displayed at the recent EuroBLECH Show in Hanover, Germany, one of the largest fabrication shows in the world. At EuroBLECH alone, 17 companies demonstrated fiber laser cutting systems and 14 showed fiber welding systems and systems for other applications. The growing number of our cutting and welding OEMS shows how the perception of high power fiber lasers for materials processing applications has changed. 1.5 years ago, IPG highlighted the potential of fiber lasers for the 3 billion flat bed cutting market. Our competitors questioned this based on the alleged inferior quality of the metal surface after fiber laser cut. It is clear now that the problem is resolved. Our customers have achieved excellent results even with the thick steel of 20 millimeters to 35 millimeters. Therefore we believe that there no more technical obstacles for fiber lasers to win a substantial share of the laser cutting market over…

Thank you, Valentin, and good morning, everyone. I’ll start off with a review of our end markets, products and geographic regions. After that I’ll follow with a summary of our income statements and balance sheet, and close with our guidance. Our largest market, materials processing, continues to grow at an impressive rate. For the third quarter of 2010, revenues increased by 93.1% year-over-year and 17.9% from a strong Q2 2010. We are seeing a significant increase in demand from several of our major OEM customers for marking and engraving applications, particularly in China and Japan. Worldwide sales for cutting and welding applications have also helped to drive much of the increase in materials processing revenue. As numerous industries increase their acceptance of fiber laser technology, we have been effective in continuing to penetrate the materials processing market which is the largest parts of the addressable laser market. The telecommunications market delivered the most impressive increase in sales of the quarter, growing a 160.5% year-over-year and 144.1% sequentially. After a slow start in the first half of the year due to the timing of orders for long haul, broadband access and cable TV, we had a stronger Q3 in Russia and also saw an improvement in US and Japanese sales compared to one year ago. Advanced applications, for which order flow can be more uneven, declined 18.3% year-over-year, while growing by 5.6% sequentially. The year-over-year comparison showed a decrease in sales because of a strong Q3 2009, which included shipments of high value kilowatt lasers to two customers. This market includes test and measurements, instrumentation, sensing and defense applications, as well as scientific research and development. We expect advanced applications performance will improve in Q4 as we expect to ship at least one of the 10-kilowatt single mode lasers that are…

Thank you. (Operator Instructions).

It’s faded out.

Hello.

Our next question is from Avinash Kant with D.A. Davidson & Co. Please proceed with your question. Avinash Kant – D.A. Davidson & Co.: Good morning, Valentin and Tim.

Good morning. Avinash Kant – D.A. Davidson & Co.: Quick question; could you talk a little bit about the capacity that you have overall at this point and the capacity utilization [inaudible] examined your revenue growth, I was trying to figure out what kind of revenue growth can you achieve without requiring much capital investment in the near-term.

So, right now, on average for the year-to-date capacity utilization is between 70% and 75%. In the fourth quarter, I would say that it’s getting above 75%. We are now at the level where a year or so ago we said we would need to start investing again in capacity approximately $80 million of quarterly revenue. We expect to make those investments, first of all, next year in Russia, where we will build a new facility. We will make some investments in Germany to a lesser degree and some investments probably on the diode fab in the US. In addition to that, we plan to buy a new building in Italy, which will help with some of the manufacturing capacity for telecom products. So we are at a point in time now where we start to need to look at on those capacity investment decisions. Avinash Kant – D.A. Davidson & Co.: So Tim, in that regard, would you have some idea about the CapEx that you could have for the next year? How should we model that?

We have not established a formal budget at the moment. I think we’ve discussed spending in the region of $35 million to $40 million, but that’s subject to a final budget. Avinash Kant – D.A. Davidson & Co.: Okay. And did you give out the bookings number for the quarter? And could you talk a little bit about the book-to-bill that you had? And what do you expect in Q4 also in terms of bookings?

We did not give specific bookings number. The book-to-bill again was above 1. And I think that that is also reflected in the guidance that we provided. We are not providing a forecast on what we expect the book-to-bill ratio to be for Q4. The momentum that we’re seeing on order flow around the world has continued in October and that’s similar to the update that we provided I think on the last call. Avinash Kant – D.A. Davidson & Co.: Perfect. Thank you so much.

Our backlog increased very essentially and it’s enough to support our guidance in Q4 and Q1 next year also. Avinash Kant – D.A. Davidson & Co.: Thanks.

Also Q1 next year. Avinash Kant – D.A. Davidson & Co.: Thank you so much, Valentin.

Our next question comes from Jim Ricchiuti with Needham & Company. Please proceed with your question. Jim Ricchiuti – Needham & Company: Hi, thank you, good morning. The question I have is with respect to selling expense down sequentially, and yet you showed very strong revenue growth. I wonder if you could just maybe elaborate on that and give us a sense as to where you see selling expense going forward?

It’s down sequentially a little bit because of the timing of certain trade shows and fairs, and also we had some demo unit reduction – a little bit of a reduction in demo unit depreciation, and we will continue to invest those demo units around the world. But it’s really a timing on certain of those expenses. In general, I would expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute terms as we invest in sales personnel around the world as we expand some of our footprint geographically. But those increase is in general, but much more moderate than the increase in total sales. I think we’ve have spent a lot of money hiring sales people with specific specialties in the US, in Germany, in China in particular, in Italy, and in Japan. I think potentially one area we’re about to may invest in sales expenses now will be Russia, as we seek to increase the telecom and in particularly the industrial sales in Russia.

And Brazil also.

And Brazil as well. Jim Ricchiuti – Needham & Company: Okay. And while we’re talking about geographies, I wonder if you would give us a sense as to how big China represents as a market for you. I guess was it around 10% last quarter?

I mean China is it should be on the geographic sales map is almost 17%. Jim Ricchiuti – Needham & Company: Okay. And then, final question, sounds like you’re making very good progress with cutting OEMs, and I wonder if you could tell us how many OEMs you have right now in the cutting market and say where that was a year ago?

I can’t specifically disclose or I haven’t calculated it exactly, but we’ve got tens of cutting OEMs and that continues to increase each quarter. For example, we know that there are four to five companies in Japan who has started to use our lasers in their equipment, who are transitioning from CO2. So we must be running at somewhere between 20 and 30 cutting OEMs, major cutting OEMs around the world. What was the second part of the question? Jim Ricchiuti – Needham & Company: Tim, I think you’ve kind of answered it. I was just getting – trying to get a sense of it year ago that was a much smaller number. And I assume you guys will be ramping up over the course of 2011.

We hope so. Yes.

I can say that year-ago we have not more than 1% or 2% of cutting market. Now we’re above 10% with our [inaudible] sales. We hope if we can reach, it will multiple many times is probably – Jim Ricchiuti – Needham & Company: Okay, that’s helpful, Valentin. Thank you.

Our next question comes from Paul Thomas with Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Please proceed with your question. Paul Thomas – Bank of America Merrill Lynch: Hi, good morning. Sorry, I had some technical difficulties there earlier. The question came up earlier about bookings strength, and you mentioned that your strength continues through the end of the year and gives support to 1Q. I know you’re not going to give any guidance for the beginning of next year. But I’m just wondering at this point do you guys feel like you’re going to be sort of above seasonal growth going into next year or do you think we’ll return to more a of a seasonal pattern?

It’s very difficult to say at this point in time. But I think that given that we were relatively low on revenue in Q1 2010, the potential increase you’ll see year-on-year in Q1 2011 would be more than a normal growth rate. But we still – are always a little bit cautious about in the first quarter of the year in terms of like sequential growth. Russia can always be very weak in the first quarter and then as well certain of the Asia economies with public holidays and other national events can also be a little bit weak. But I’d actually expect our year-on-year a bit stronger than normal growth, because Q1 2010 was still, relative to Q2 and Q3, a weaker quarter. Paul Thomas – Bank of America Merrill Lynch: Thanks, that’s helpful. And then, maybe on the pulsed laser side, has the growth there been from existing customers are ramping their orders or has there been new customers coming into the mix?

Primarily existing relationships, some of which have been dramatically expanded this year in Asia, and also then a ramp back up of a lot of OEM, some of them have been our customers for over a decade. So in Japan, existing relationships saw a big rebound in the third quarter, as well as in Germany and the US. I don’t think there’s like a major new marking and engraving OEM out there, I think most of them have already been our customers for a long period of time, and there are no new entrants into the market.

In Asia, we increased – we doubled practical quantity of our OEM customers. And in total – in quantity pulsed lasers this year, we tripled production from beginning of the year, practically tripled production and sales. Paul Thomas – Bank of America Merrill Lynch: Okay, great. Thanks a lot guys.

Our next question is from Joe Maxa with Dougherty & Company. Please proceed with your question. Joe Maxa – Dougherty & Company: Thank you. Tim, I just want to talk a little bit about the gross margins. Where do you see that going from here? With a strong Q4, it looks like we might see that expand. What should we think about – I know it’s early, but next year as you start adding capacity, are we going to able to stick around with 50% level?

So first of all, I think we had some benefit in Q3 from inventory growth. The underlying gross margin was a little bit lower. I think in Q4, given that we’re not going to see a big uptick in our cost base, we have an opportunity to at least maintain and potentially improve a little bit the gross margins. But coming into next year, as we’ve mentioned with the capacity additions, we remain – and I don’t want to start providing medium-term forecast about gross margin. I think we remain sort of optimistic as long as the business remains ready as we can still target being at the upper 40s and that sort of level. There will be a lot of capacity that does start to get out and it’ll take us time to start to use that. Offsetting that then will be an increase in sales with some of the newer products that I mentioned have a lot of value add attached to them and good pricing and if volumes continue to increase. We certainly do not expect a deterioration in gross margins in the near term. Joe Maxa – Dougherty & Company: Got it. Then just on this IMRA lawsuit, is that in your Q4 guidance, if that were to pick back up?

No, at the moment, because there is just no information out there about the trial and the trial dates, and absolutely nothing that we’ve received when that will happen. We actually have relatively low legal expense numbers estimated for Q4, just because we don’t think there will be much activity. I think it’s unlikely at this point in time that suddenly there will be a trial date set in at the beginning of December, particularly coming up to the holiday season. It may happen, but we think it’s unlikely. Joe Maxa – Dougherty & Company: Okay. And lastly, can you give us – has there been a change in what’s called the – your end – kind of the end market verticals over last year or what has the change been? I’m just thinking of the – if we think about auto manufacturers or solar customers as far as if you can tell who the end users and what shift you may have seen, maybe you see your top –

I think we haven’t seen any real shift in terms of end use. We’ve just seen a continued expansion of a lot other relationships that we have, whether it’d be in the automotive, in general manufacturing, particularly in the diversification of the cutting OEMs, the rebound in marking and graving. I think there are more and more applications that lasers are being used. And even in some of the more simple applications like marking and graving are now getting into deep engraving for vehicle identification number, that’s the newer application. We’ve seen the pulsed lasers used. And certainly initial stages of more diverse solar applications as well as this flat panel display opportunity. We see a diversification of some of the applications. No real fundamental shift in the source of the business. So we haven’t got millions of dollars being generated from a industry that we didn’t have last year. Joe Maxa – Dougherty & Company: Okay, thank you.

Our next question comes from Mark Douglass with Longbow Research. Please proceed with your question. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Good morning, gentlemen.

Hi Mark. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: You were talking about EuroBLECH, what’s the – what was the tone of your BLECH, if you can kind of flush it out. And you talked about the number of – the increased number of OEMs incorporating your lasers. Was there a pickup of orders at the show or are people still being relatively cautious just in general about ordering high power cutting systems?

I don’t actually have much specific feedbacks from the show. I haven’t had a chance to get [inaudible] have any of the salespeople spoken to.

Just typical, we do not sign any immediate with a big contract. But it’s very huge interest in this [inaudible] development of continued businesses that we have to EuroBLECH and now with the new show which would be [inaudible] business growth and our sales growth. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Okay. On the sales and marketing side of things, Tim, can you talk about – it was mentioned before it decreased sequentially and some of that was just due – you said to depreciation and like. But how much of your sales are commission based? Is this not that high of a percentage, such that it really doesn't grow substantially with sales growth?

We have a program here which is more based upon growing sales. We don’t generally reward people by commissions; they get more of a bonus based program based up on the growth rates that they achieve. And those sort of accruals and payments in relation to that had already substantially got to the maximum amounts halfway through the year, so there was no sudden fundamental pickup in that amount in Q3. I do note though that the year-to-date even though there was a little bit of a decline sequentially, selling expenses are up about 30% to year-to-date. So there is a little bit of a depth in Q3 shouldn’t be taken as a trend. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Right. But then would you think anything incremental in 4Q, there shouldn’t again then be a large step up, because of –

No, the variable part of the compensation plans is all being accrued at the full amounts to sales people and who’s paid out halfway through the year. So it just didn’t result in a big pickup in the third quarter, because they had already started to perform extremely well through the first half of the year. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Right. No, that’s fair, that resets beginning of fiscal ’11, then?

Yes. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Okay, that’s helpful.

Some of the other comps, variable comps did pickup a little bit in Q3, because of the improved performance though. So that’s where it went to G&A amount, G&A lines. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Okay. So we’re still looking $17 million a little bit higher maybe in 4Q operating expenses then?

I think it’d be pretty similar to Q3, yes. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Yes, it was Q3, yes it seems to be implied in your guidance. And then, again, your incremental margins were 65% and your guidance looks to assume again very, very high incremental margins. Incremental margins assumed are, it looks like 65% in the 4Q. What kind of sustainability, probably not that sustainable, but still that’s a pickup from Q3, that’s kind of surprising.

Yes, those, we targeted before incremental margins I think in around the 60% range. There was a little bit of benefit, because you saw some utilization of capacity to build inventory. But anyway from 55% to 60% of this point in time is pretty reasonable. When you start to add capacity next year, those incremental gross margins will come down a little bit for every dollar of revenue added. But we’re really are building or using our capacity at about the most efficient level that we have since the middle of 2008. And in 2008 we were continuing to add capacity before the downturn occurred using the funds from the IPO. So there was a lot of investment that was putting to the business not just on manufacturing, but selling expenses, and now we’re really starting to see the return on that investment come through into the business model. And the rate of growth means though that we’re actually going to have to start investing again. So you’ll see some of that moderate a little bit coming into 2011. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Right.

We’re very pleased. I can’t say anything else than other that. Both, gross margins and then operating expenses as a total percent of sales, even though we had to absorb some legal expenses in July and August, and the $2 million FX, negative FX impact in Q3. The results we’ve achieved even with those items I think was pretty good. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Yes, I know that’s a pretty good incremental margins. Just final on working capital, obviously a big step up, certainly if you look at trailing 12 months sales at 43% or so. Would you expect that to kind of trend down? Do you have a kind of a target you like to work at for working capital maybe as a percentage of sales or cash conversion cycle?

The interesting thing was accounts receivable is not part of that due to shipments towards the end of the quarter. The timing of the accounts receivable can be a little bit skewed because of that. Our accounts receivable days outstanding were actually no different really from June, although they’re up from December. In the fourth quarter of last year we actually managed to ship stuff out earlier in the fourth quarter. That benefited the days sales outstanding as of December. But June to September, we’ve not seen any real change in that number. And clearly we are consuming some working capital in relation to inventory. Hope that the increase in inventory, because we’re not seeing such a big step up in sales will moderate. We also have a lot of finished product that’s sitting in China that we hope to ship out in Q4. In total, our cash cycle, this is interesting though, has actually come down, because offsetting the increase in accounts receivable and inventory, we’ve seen some benefit in relation to accruals which have gone up, because we haven’t paid those out. We actually have some deferred revenue and we’ve also collected quite a lot of customer deposits and prepayments which has helped to finance the inventory side. We do expect some of that to turnover in the Q4, in particular in the Far East, where we will ship again some of those customers that wanted some prepayment. So there are two sides to the working capital equation. It’s not just the investments and inventory and accounts receivable, but offsetting that has been our managements on the liability side, which means that we have actually reduced our own cash cycle, the analysis that we’ve done shows. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Year-over-year, yes. I just wonder if you have a kind of a target that you’re trying to work.

In inventory, we’re trying to target 2 times per year turning it. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Okay.

And accounts receivable anywhere from an average of 60. To get the accounts receivable down to 50 is very, very good. Mark Douglass – Longbow Research: Great. Okay, thank you.

Our next question is from Olga Levinson [ph], Barclays Capital. Please proceed with your question. Olga Levinson – Barclays Capital: Hi, thanks for taking my question. I was wondering if you could talk about your current outlook for the overall laser – underlying laser market into 2011. Do you expect some level of growth? And also, where does fiber laser penetration currently stand and where do you see that moving into next year?

We’re going to have – the market surveys about next year are out. So I think given the overall optimism of all companies are demonstrating and the results that are being reported, there’s clearly been a significant rebound in the laser market. I think that overall people target a growth rate that is above GDP significantly for general – the general laser market anywhere from 7% to 9%, and for fiber to grow at a minimum of 20% within that. We’re seeing nothing at the moment that would lead us to believe that that kind of growth rate in 2011 will not continue. I would estimate that you’re going to see fiber penetration probably have increased to between 12% and 15% from I think an average of 8% or 9% last year. And there is market analysis out there that shows that fiber laser penetration could get to an average of 30% in the medium term. So none of those trends have really changed. Olga Levinson – Barclays Capital: Got it. And then in terms of your OpEx outlook into 2011, any thoughts as to how that would track relative to your revenue growth?

Yes, I think we’re pretty much as we’ve targeted maintaining operating expenses in total below 25% of revenue. At the moment they’re at sort of 20% range. I think that continues to be a reasonable target for the company. The thing we’ll have some unevenness on operating expenses depending upon when the IMRA trial actually occurs, but we’re not – we’re definitely not factoring again an increase operating expenses that will bring back above 25% of revenues. Our target is to make sure that we keep them below that level. Olga Levinson – Barclays Capital: Got it. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, due to time constraints and in order to reach everyone’s question, we ask that you limit yourself to one question and one follow-up at this time. Our next question is from Jiwon Lee with Sidoti & Company. Please proceed with your question. Jiwon Lee – Sidoti & Company: Thanks and good morning. Could you comment a little bit more about the competitive landscape, especially on the high power front, cutting and welding, whether or not you are seeing some new products or players into this space? And if you could also comment on the pulsed laser side.

Clearly, people are making announcements about bringing out higher power fiber lasers. In truth, right now, we have not really seen anything at all from those people who have made those announcements. It remains very unclear as to the price points they can enter the market and the quality and reliability of their products. I think that there is continued and increasing interest in trying to penetrate the fiber laser market, because the technology has been fully validated. It continues to argued that it’s going to be very difficult for people to compete with us given the quality of the light sources that we have and the cost basis that we’ve achieved, the electrical efficiencies, the performance of the lasers. On the pulsed laser side, I’d say yes, there are more people who claim to be able to compete with us. But Valentin mentioned that we’re seeing a three-fold increase in pulsed laser sales. I think that’s probably an indication of they’re not doing particularly well.

Yes, we do not do within market for pulsed laser increased in three times, maximum 50% to 70%. But our sales increased in three times, practical in quantity. So our market share even increased not decreased its price off about 40 companies which claim they have also pulsed laser fiber laser. Jiwon Lee – Sidoti & Company: Terrific. Some laser companies recently have highlighted some opportunities in the LED space. If you can talk about on whether or not you are seeing some traction there or how do you feel about some potential revenue stream next year and beyond?

Okay. It’s a bit too granular for us, Jiwon. I don't think we've heard anything specific about the LED market opportunity I think in Korea and in a different market sector where we are more opportunistic about stuff as this. But it is the OLED market for flat screen display manufacturing we’re not sure about any manufacturers we’re speaking who are using our lasers for mass manufacturing of LEDs or where they maybe out there.

LED market is absolutely different. It’s in fact is becoming commodity market. But the future volume – volume [inaudible] price, it’s not our field of activity. We’re making high power diodes and that so it’s different technology than LED technology.

People who maybe using our laser, we don’t know people using our laser.

No, it’s different. Jiwon Lee – Sidoti & Company: Okay, that’s helpful, thank you.

Our next question comes from Ajit Pai with Stifel Nicolaus. Please proceed with our question. Ajit Pai – Stifel Nicolaus: Yes, good morning, and congratulations on a very solid quarter.

Thanks Ajith. Good morning. Ajit Pai – Stifel Nicolaus: Yes, a couple of quick questions. I think the first one is just about the telecommunication sales. How sustainable is that to the rebound that you’re seeing? And you talk about both Russia and the US, so what’s going on in the US?

Diversification of some of the customer base introduction of new products, improvement in sales to some of our main – outside of the US to our main OEM in Japan. Those are the two main markets that we have. In Russia, we’re seeing really some initial penetration from these new products that we’ve developed and the deepening of our relationships there.

We have a different product market approach in the US, in Russia, and some other countries. In the US, we still sale in the unique but high power amplifiers, the other new kinds of amplifiers [inaudible] sources and so on. It’s so part of the telecom fiber optic system. In Russia, we implemented the market will complete solution, complete system, after which we – we were certified there and now becoming very competitive with bigger system manufacturers like Alcatel, Huawei and so. [inaudible] process to implement such system also has geographical market, for example, South America into what we have products and services. Ajit Pai – Stifel Nicolaus: So are you comfortable with those modeling, the telecom business growing up sequentially the next four to five quarters?

I think in any quarter and which can’t be weak as Russia in Q1 and there is still not absolute clarity on that in general. On an annualized basis, yes.

And then we’ll hope to multiple many times with the sales in telecom next year in total if not first quarter. Ajit Pai – Stifel Nicolaus: But the trend will be an improving one on a sequential basis other than Q1, you would expect that at least from these elevated levels, you will still continue to see growth?

I think we’re going to be disappointed if we don’t continue to execute in this manner, particularly given the improvements that we’ve seen. Ajit Pai – Stifel Nicolaus: Okay. And then the next question is just on the advanced applications. Can you give us some color as to when you expect some of the high power more defense related lasers? Do you expect any more of those to ship over the next four to six quarters?

We’ve got several orders on hand that we’re going to ship at least one of which maybe more in Q4. There are odd orders that still come in, they are just – that market is still not big for us, and there’s still a lot of R&D that’s required, and I’d just if not in a situation where you certainly going to see sales of 20 units accrued for anything like that. There are still orders expected and we continue to work with a fairly diverse number of customers in that area. Ajit Pai – Stifel Nicolaus: Got it. Thank you.

Our next question is from Mark Miller with Noble Financial. Please proceed with your question. Mark Miller – Noble Financial: Just wondering if you can just – I don’t need exact figures, but can you just give us a little more color about bookings? I think you mentioned North America was strong for the September quarter. Any other color you can give us about geography or products or application area would be beneficial.

[inaudible] I’d like to think, overall, we continue to see very strong bookings around the world and it was pleasing to see the US had its best quarter in bookings for a long time that I mentioned. We also saw across different applications some improvement in general and the advanced application business compared to where it had been between first six months of the year. And then all of the other geographies, Europe, China, Japan, India off a small base, it’s really across the board, everything else has continued to be improving. Mark Miller – Noble Financial: You mentioned high powered diode cost coming down was the driver of your margin improvement. Do you feel there are still a lot more coming? I know that was one of your hopes for the coming quarters that you’re going to be able to grab continued significant reduction in your diode costs which are a major part of your product cost.

Yes, I mean, we’ve seen that cost come down this year. And there are additional strategies that run out not just until the next two or three quarters, but there is a longer term target to drive the cost off the diodes that we use internally down. And as we ramp volumes, we think we can continue to achieve significant milestones in that regard. We don’t want to put any targets out there, but I think we’ve demonstrated an ability already to be pretty effective in that regard.

And, of course, [inaudible] from volume at this year we have reached 6 megawatt of – probably 6 megawatt of total diode power. It’s practically two times more than last year, it’s – and the cost of diodes really will only depends from volume which is further increase of volume of diode production if the cost will have an opportunity to develop price per watt were essentially additional. Mark Miller – Noble Financial: Thank you.

At this time, we have reached the end of the Q&A session. I will now turn the conference back over to Dr. Gapontsev for any closing or additional remarks.

Okay. Thank you for joining us today. We look forward to speaking with you in February next year when we report our fourth quarter and full-year results.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you, everyone.

And that concludes our conference call. Thank you for joining us today.
