We believe now our quarterly cash break-even point will be 14 to 16 million, and the profitability break-even point will be 16 to 18 million, excluding one-time charges, non-recurring gains and losses. We will continue to invest our R&D and high-performance testers in the current and the coming quarters. We also monitor the supply chains tightly and have added a working process to support the dynamic demand from multiple and market timelines. In Q3 2020, 165,000 shares of EMC was sold and about US $658,000 cashing. The average selling price of EMC in Q3 is around US $4 per share with a regular cost of US $0.53 per share.

EMC share price was US $3.57 on September 30th and it was close at $3.64 on today, October 30th, 2020. Returns to shareholders are very much on our minds and will continue to be a focus in the future. we will provide updates to the additional measures to enhance shareholders' value throughout this year. Given the uncertain demand and macro environment, we are prepared to continue to match costs as needed. Although we believe we have a light current cost based on current and anticipated revenue levels, I would like to thank everyone for participating and turn the call over to Jim Kai to talk more about our business.
