Highlight of Business Operations:

The increase of $22.0 million or 6% in Semiconductor Test revenue was due to an increase in System-on-a-Chip product revenue partially offset by a decrease in memory product revenue. The increase in Systems Test Group revenue of $3.9 million or 6% was primarily due to an increase in sales of Mil/Aero test instrumentation, systems and services. The acquisition of LitePoint, which is our Wireless Test segment, completed in October of 2011, added $111.9 million of revenue in the three months ended July 1, 2012.

During the three months ended July 3, 2011, we recorded an inventory provision of $1.7 million included in cost of revenues, due to the downward revisions to previously forecasted demand levels.
