And before we start I’d like to state that all our numbers are presented in U.S. dollars and that all comparisons are between Q2 2014 and Q2 2013, except for balance sheet items. In the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 total sales including sales of systems and contingent rental income were $19.16 million compared with $13.91 million. Sales of systems were $18.95 increased by 39.1% compared with $13.62 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 the Yida project 15 megawatt waste gas power generation system was sold.
