The confusion in numbers stems from the way the earnings report is structured, the first operating income number is for SIX months (meaning two quarters) not just the past Q2 (July-September). People are looking at that number and mixing it up as just the Q2 number.

Well, counting profits/losses cumulatively is a common business practic, and is the way it usually done.
